CHRISTMAS   CAROLS 
Carols  .  Old    and    Carols    New.      Boston  : 
The  Parish  Choir.    $5.00. 

This  handsome  book  contains  751  carols 
for  use  at  Christmas,  New  Year,  Epiphany, 
Easter,  Ascension,  Whitsuntide,  Trinity, 
Harvest,  Children's  Day,  and  Flower  Ser- 
vices, collected  from  many  sources  and  ar- 
ranged by  the  Rev.  Charles  L.  Hutchins, 
D.D.  Ill  his  preface  the  editor  says  that 
"the  excuse,  if  any  be  needed,  for  the  pub- 
lication of  this  collection  of  carols,  is  a 
double  one :  viz.,  the  happy  and  widely  pre- 
vailing return  in  recent  years  to  the  old 
custom  of  carol  singing,  and  the  desire  on 
the  part  of  the  compiler  to  further  this 
custom  by  placing  within  the  reach  of  those 
who  engage  in  it,  an  abundance  of  good 
material. 

The  carols  have  been  drawn  from  ancient 
and  modern  sources,  with  discrimination  and 
good  musical  judgnent.  The  ancient  carols 
have  been  faithfully  reproduced  with  due 
reverence  for  their  traditional  form.  Some 
of  them  have  been  harmonized  in  modern 
style  but  the  greater  number  retain  their 
ancient  form.  If  one  might  select  a  model 
carol,  with  fine  harmonization,  in  dulci 
jiibilo.  by  R.  L.  De  Pearsall,  would  seem 
to  conunand  the  premier  place.  It  is  a  gem, 
and  it  should  be  sung  in  every  church  at 
Christmastide.  The  number  of  carols  se- 
lected from  French  sources  is  large.  All 
are  deserving  of  a  hearing  and  many  of 
them  should  become  popular,  for  they  are 
real  carols.  The  English  school  is  well  rep- 
resented. All  the  choice  examples  of  that 
nation,  both  ancient  and  modern,  will  be 
found  in  the  book;  in  fact  the  bulk  of  the 
work  is  taken  from  English  authors  and 
composers.  Modern  .Ainerican  carols  are 
drawn  upon  to  a  large  extent,  good  ex- 
amples by  Custance,  Cutler,  Dr.  Hodges  (15 
examples),  Muhlenberg,  Horatio  Parker, 
De  Koven,  Roper  and  Tuckerman  being 
included.  The  German  school  is  adequately 
represented.  In  addition  to  the  carols  there 
is  a  fine  Bibliography  of  both  printed  and 
manuscript  collections,  the  latter  including 
the  fine  collection  in  the  British  Museum; 
indices  of  authors,  sources,  and  composeri, 
and  illustrations  of  the  San  Sisto  Madonna 
and  other  reproductions.  The  book  may 
be  used  as  a  reference  work,  or  as  a  prac- 
tical one  for  choirs,  as  the  several  numbers 
may  be  obtained  separately.  It  should  be 
in  the  lilirary  of  every  lover  of  carols.

PREFACE 


The  excuse,  if  any  be  needed,  for  the  publication  of  this  collection  of  carols,  is  a  double  one: 
viz.,  the  happy  and  widely  prevailing  return  in  recent  years  to  the  old  custom  of  carol  singing, 
and  the  desire  on  the  part  of  the  compiler  to  further  this  custom  by  placing  within  the  reach  of 
those  who  engage  in  it,  an  abundance  of  good  material. 

Some  of  the  carols  presented  in  this  volume  already  have  appeared  in  the  "  Parish  Choir,"  but 
none  are  here  reprinted  which  have  not,  in  at  least  one  circle,  attained  some  degree  of  popularity. 
For  the  convenience  of  those  who  are  accustomed  to  the  use  of  the  carols  in  the  leaflet  form  in 
which  they  have  been  published,  they  retain  the  same  numbering  in  this  collection. 

It  is  not  the  compiler's  purpose  to  dwell  upon  the  antiquity,  the  history,  and  the  beauty  of  the 
custom  of  carol  singing  as  well  at  Easter  and  other  seasons  of  the  Christian  Year  as  in  connection 
with  the  Christmas  Festival.  There  is  an  abundance  of  literature  on  the  subject  as  may  be  seen 
in  the  list  of  publications  to  be  found  in  the  latter  part  of  this  volume. 

The  number  of  Christmas  carols  in  this  collection  largely  exceeds  those  for  any  other  season, 
because  the  use  of  carols  at  Christmas  time  is  more  general  than  at  other  times.  And  in  sending 
forth  this  volume  the  compiler  would  adopt  the  words  of  John  Audley,  the  blind  and  deaf  chaplain 
of  Haughmond  Abbey,  about  the  year  1426  — 

"  I  pray  you  sirs,  both  more  and  less, 
Sing  these  carols  in  Christemas." 


Concord,  Massachusetts, 
October,  1916.

Of  a  MS.  (Bodleian  572,  fol.  50)  still  existing,  and  thought  to  be  the  first 

Native   Carol   in    England.  It   probably   was   the  work   of  a   monk   inventive 

and  well   skilled  in  music.  The   old   alphabetical  notation  is  seen   above   the 
Latin  text.

And  drear  -  iest     night  had     dark-en'd      o'er      the  earth's  sin    -    la    -  den  breast: 

The  an  -  guish  keen,    the     storm     of      woe,    that      gath  -  er'd      o'er     His  head,

Nor  bless     the     Love,    the     Grace,  the    Pow'r,  that        us        from  death    set 


But  when  that  brightest    morn-ing  broke,  the  woe    and  curse  were    o'er.      The  pow'rs  of  death  were 
Now  wake  the  strain  with  one    ac-cord  thro'  all      the  courts  of  Heav'n,  To     sing  the  praise  of

On  the  first  glad  Christmas  morn, 
Sang  the  choir  of  God  Angelic, — 

Christ  the  Son  of  God  is  born! 
When  the  dew  was  white  and  pearly, 

Flashed  a  light  across  the  sky, 
In  the  early  morning,  early, 

Glory  be  to  God  on  high. 

3 
Glory  in  the  heavens  eternal, 

Upon  earth  be  glory,  too. 
For  t\w  day  of  grace  hath  broken, 

And  a  King  is  bom  to  you. 
In  the  early  morning,  early, 

(ilory  be  to  God  on  high: 
Rang  the  sound  of  Angels  harping, 

Though  the  stilly,  list'ning  sky.

Once  again  the  Holy  Night 

Breathes  its  blessing  tender, 
Once  again  the  Manger  Light 

Sheds  its  gentle  splendour; 
Oh!  could  tongues  by  Angels  taught 

Speak  our  exultation 
In  the  Virgin's  Child  that  brought 

All  mankind  Salvation? 


Yea,  if  others  stand  apart, 

We  will  press  the  nearer; 
Yea,  O  best  fraternal  Heart, 

We  will  hold  Thee  dearer: 
Faithful  lips  shall  answer  thus 

To  all  faithless  scorning, 
"Jesus  Christ  is  God  with  us. 

Born  on  Christmas  morning,' 


Welcome  Thou  to  souls  athirst, 

Fount  of  endless  pleasure: 
Gates  of  Hell  may  do  their  worst, 

While  we  clasp  our  Treasure: 
Welcome,  though  an  age  like  this 

Puts  Thy  Name  on  trial, 
And  the  Truth  that  makes  our  bliss 

Pleads  against  denial ! 


So  we  yield  Thee  all  we  can, 

Worship,  thanks,  and  blessing: 
Thee  true  God,  and  Thee  true  Man, 

On  our  knees  confessing; 
While  Thy  Birth-day  morn  we  greet 

With  our  best  devotion. 
Bathe  us,  O  most  true  and  sweet ! 

In  Thy  Mercy's  ocean.

Slowly  fall  the  snow-flakes. 

Hang  the  holly  high, 
Bright  its  berries,  greeting 

God  Incarnate  nigh ; 
Dark  the  earth  no  longer, 

Barren  nevermore, 
Grace-flowers  spring  to  blossom 

On  the  eternal  shore.

'Tis  the  Spring  of  souls   to-day : 

Christ  hath  burst  His  prison  ; 
And  from  three  days'  sleep  in  death 

As  a  sun  hath  risen  ; 
All  the  winter  of  our  sins, 

Long  and  dark,  is  flying 
From  His  Light,  to  whom  we  give 

Laud  and  praise  undying. 


Now  the  Queen  of  Seasons,  bright 

With  the  day  of  splendour, 
With  the  royal  Feast  of  feasts. 

Comes  its  joy  to  render  ; 
Comes  to  glad  Jerusalem, 

Who  with  true  affection, 
Welcomes  in  unwearied  straini 

Jesus'  Resurrection. 


Alleluia  now  we  cry 

To  our  King  Immortal, 
Who  triumphant  burst  the  bare 

Of  the  tomb's  dark  portal ; 
Alleluia,  with  the  Son 

God  the  Father  praising; 
Alleluia  yet  ngain 

To  the  Spirit  raising.     Amen.

Th'  Almighty  Saviour  came, 
And  following  on  His  silent  steps, 
An  angel  armed  in  flame. 


mf  The  angel  came  full  early, 

But  Christ  had  gone  before, 

CT  Not  for  Himself,  but  for  His  Saints, 
Is  burst  the  prison  door. 


dim  The  stone  is  rolled  away, 
p     The  keepers  fainting  fall, 
Satan  and  Pilate's  watchmen, 
The  day  has  scared  them  all. 


mf  When  all  His  Saints  assemble. 
Make  haste  ere  twilight  cease, 
His  Easter  blessing  to  receive. 
And  so  lie  down  in  peace.

Leafy  circles  intertwine 
Telling  how  in  Blessed  Jesus

Welcome  words  our  coming  bless, 
For  in  Thee  our  hopes  we  centre, 

Christ,"The  Lord  our  Righteousness." 


In  the  nave  each  space  is  speaking 

Of  the  light  which  Jesus  brought, 
Of  the  freedom  and  the  glory 

Which  for  all  the  world  He  wrought 
Wherefore,  O  ye  congregation, 

Should  your  hearts  be  cold  and  dumb. 
While  the  walls  proclaim  Salvation, 

And,  "Arise,  thy  Light  is  come." 


Listen  to  the  old-new  message, 

At  the  Holy  Table  kneel ; 
Grudge  not,  when  ye  leave  the  Temple, 

To  diffuse  the  warmth  ye  feel. 
Life  has  time  enough  for  sadness. 

Clouds  too  seldom  pass  away  ; 
Only  love  and  peace  and  gladness. 

Should  be  named  on  Christmas  Day.

Of  Him  who  made  us  all.

A  resurrection  too.

Jesus,  the  God  whom  angels  fear. 
Comes  down  to  dwell  with  you; 

To-day  He  makes  His  entrance  here, 
But  not  as  monarchs  do. 


Go.  shepherds,  where  the  Infant  lies 
And  see  His  humble  throne;  — 

With  tears  of  joy  in  all  your  eyes, 
Ck>,  shepherds,  "Kiss  the  Son".' 


Glory  to  God,  who  reigns  above, 
Let  peace  surround  the  earth. 

Mortals  shall  know  their  Maker's  love. 
At  their  Redeemer's  birth.

Seel  a  light  from  heav'n  is  streaming. 
Night  and  darkness  quit  the  plain;

Followed  by  a  radiant  train. 


"  Fear  not,  shepherds !  glad  my  story, 
Tidings  of  the  greatest  joy: 

Christ  is  bom,  the  Lord  of  Glory!

All  is  silence,  all  is  night.

The  air  was  calm  and  still. 
O'er  Bethlehem  fields  its  rays  were  shed, 

The  dew  lay  on  the  hill : 
We  see  no  throne,  no  palace  fair, 
Where  is  the  King  ?  0  where  ?  O  where  ? 


An  old  man  knelt  at  the  manger  low, 

A  babe  lay  in  the  stall ; 
The  starlight  played  on  the  Infant  brow, 

Deep  silence  lay  o'er  all : 
A  maiden  bent  o'er  the  Babe  in  prayer  :— 
There  is  the  King,  0  there  !  O  there  !

Tliere  stood  three  Maries  by  the  tomb 

On  Easter  morning  early, 
When  day  had  scarcely  chased  the  gloom, 
And  dew  was  white  and  pearly  ; 
Alleluia,  Alleluia. 
With  loving  but  with  erring  mind 
They  came  the  Prince  of  Life  to  find  : 
Alleluia,  Alleluia,  Alleluia  ! 


But  one,  and  one  alone,  remained 
With  love  that  could  not  vary  ; 
And  thus  a  joy  past  joy  she  gained. 
That  sometime  sinner  Mary  : 
Alleluia,  Alleluia  : 
The  first  the  dear,  dear  form  to  see 
Of  Him  who  hung  upon  the  tree  : 
Alleluia,  Alleluia,  Alleluia ! 


But  earlier  still  the  angel  sped 
His  news  of  comfort  giving ; 
And  "  why,"  he  said,  "  among  the  dead 
"  Thus  seek  ye  for  the  living  ?" 
Alleluia,  Alleluia : 
"  Go  tell  them  all  and  make  them  blest, 
"  Tell  Peter  first,  and  then  the  rest." 
Alleluia,  Alleluia,  Alleluia  ! 


The  Church  is  keeping  Easter  Day, 

And  Easter  hymns  are  sounding, 

And  Easter  flowers  are  blooming  gay, 

The  holy  Font  surrounding  ; 

Alleluia.  Alleluia ; 

The  Lord  hath  risen,  as  all  things  tell, 

Grood  Christians,  see  ye  rise  as  well :

To  prison'd  souls,  that  long  had  pined 
In  Death's  dark  shadow,  Light  hath  shined : 
A  Voice  divides  the  flames  of  fire, 
And  wonder  wakes  a  new-born  choir : 
For  hell  below  forgets  her  woe. 
And  forth  her  kindling  praises  flow : 
Chorus.     Alleluia,  &c. 


The  Gardener  in  His  garden  walked, 
And  with  a  weeping  woman  talked ; 
To  eyes  that  look  through  loving  tears, 
Lo !  Death  is  Life,  and  Christ  appears ! 
Before  all  men,  by  Magdalene 
The  risen  Lord  is  heard  and  seen : 
Chorus.     Alleluia,  &c. 


The  gates  of  brass  are  closed  in  vain. 
The  iron  bars  He  bursts  in  twain  ; 
The  gulf  that  ne'er  was  crossed  before 
Wafts  armies  to  its  happier  shore : 
And  Death,  once  King,  has  lost  his  sting, 
And  hell  its  Conqueror  learns  to  sing: 
Chorus.     Alleluia,  &c. 


The  faithful  Women  next  rejoice ; 
They  clasp  His  feet,  and  hear  His  voice  ; 
Tbey  tell  the  Apostles  all,  that  He 
Will  meet  them  soon  in  Galilee  ; 
Their  spices  rare  the  morning  air 
Now  sends  in  perfume  everywhere  : 
Chorus.     Alleluia,  &c. 


From  Heaven  an  Angel  came  alone, 
And  rolled  away  the  mighty  stone ; 
While  two,  within,  at  either  end. 
In  reverent,  radiant  state  attend. 
There,  clothed  in  white,  their  forms  of  light 
Fill  all  the  tomb  with  glory  bright. 
Chorus.    Alleluia  &c. 


And  "  Peace  "  is  breathed  from  Jesus  now, 
On  beaming  face  and  bended  brow ; 
And  tongues  have  come,  of  cloven  fire, 
And  shades  of  night  and  sin  retire. 
Through  earth  and  sky  the  voices  fly, 
And  all  Creation  makes  reply  : 
Chorus.    Alleluia,  &c 


The  streams  that  run  through  every  vale, 
To  field  and  forest  tell  the  tale  ; 
The  birds,  in  all  their  songs  of  Spring, 
Proclaim  it,  chanting  on  the  wing : 
Awake  ye  then,  O  sons  of  men. 
And  swell  the  chorus  ouce  again :

Not  here  across  the  snow  was  heard 

The  first  sweet  Cliristmas  song; 
But  where  the  crimson  lilies  bloom, 

Judaea's  hills  among: 
Those  hills  where  David  long  before 

His  father's  sheep  had  kept; 
And  where,  o'er  Rachel's  lonely  tomb, 

The  mourning  Jacob  wept. 

3 
And  not  by  earthly  choristers 

Was  that  first  carol  sung; 
Not  through  the  temple's  shining  courts 

Its  faultless  music  rung; 
No  listening  crowds  had  gathered  there, 

That  wondrous  chant  to  hear; 
Save  watchful  shepherds  on  the  hills, 

No  human  soul  was  near. 


'Twas  sung  by  countless  multitudes 

Of  Angels  pure  and  bright, 
And  o'er  the  bare  and  silent  hills 

There  shone  a  glorious  light; 
Such  heavenly  music  ne'er  was  heard 

Before  by  sons  of  men, 
And  never  more  shall  song  like  that 

Be  heard  on  earth  a^ain. 


We  know  the  tidings  which  they  brought 

Of  Christ  our  Saviour's  birth, 
Their  song  of  "Glory  be  to  God, 

Good-will  and  peace  on  earth;" 
And  so  the  Christmas  carol,  sung 

By  Angels  long  ago, 
Is  sweeter  than  all  other  songs 

Wliich  Christians  sing  below.

And  low  in  a  manger  the  Babe  was  laid, 
O  fair  was  the  Child,  the  mother  how  fair !

And  beasts  of  the  field  were  roused  in  their  lair 
By  the  sound  of  voices  and  harps  in  the  air. 


And  shepherds  a-watching  their  flocks  by  night 
Espied  in  the  heavens  a  marvellous  sight ; 
Of  angels  and  spirits  a  mighty  throng, 
For  joy  and  great  gladness  singing  this  song :

Let  joy  and  tlianksgiving  every  heart  fill : 
Tell  out  the  glad  tidings  that  Jesus  has  come, 
To  open  the  way  to  the  heavenly  home.

Then,  in  haste,  the  shepherds 

Heedless  of  their  fold, 
Seek  King  David's  city 

As  the  angels  told. 
There  they  find  the  manger, 

There  the  Infant  King, 
There  they  tell  the  story 

To  the  wondering. 


In  the  East,  the  wise  men 

Journeying  from  afar. 
Guided  to  the  manger 

By  the  mystic  star. 
Gold  and  fragrant  incense, 

Costly  gifts  they  bring. 
In  the  stable  lay  them. 

Kingly  offering. 


And  on  this  our  Christmas, 

While  our  hearts  we  bring, 
Hear  the  wondrous  story. 

Joyous  carols  sing ;

Like  the  kings  and  shepherds.

O  Holy  Church,  this  Easter  mom, 

Thy  richest  banouet  spread. 
Thy  risen  Lord,  a-nungered  comes 

To  bless  and  share  thy  bread ; 
O  Holy  Church,  the  Lord  is  here, 

Let  him  repent  who  heareth, 
"Arise  and  snine,"  Thy  Light  is  come. 

Thy  glory  now  appeareth. 


O  Holy  Church,  dear  Bride  of  Christ, 
With  flow'rs  bedeck  Thine  altar. 

Array  thy  courts  in  evergreens. 
Intone  thy  richest  psalter ; 

O  Mother  dear,  who  all  thy  Lord's 
Rare  graces  dost  inherit. 

Now  bid  the  loud  tek  sanctus  rise. 
To  Father,  Son,  and  Spirit.

CHRISTMAS. 


A.  P.  Howard. 


"To  you,  in  David's  town  this  day. 

Is  born  of  David's  line 
A  Saviour,  who  is  Christ  the  Lord, 

And  this  shall  be  the  sign,— 
The  heavenly  Babe  you  there  shall  find. 

To  human  view  displayed, 
All  meanly  wrapt  in  swaddling  bands. 

And  in  a  manger  laid." 


3  Thus  spake  the  seraph,  and  forthwith 

Appeared  a  shining  throng 
Of  angels  praising  God,  and  thus 

Addressed  their  joyful  song,— 
•All  glory  be  to  God  on  high. 

And  to  the  earth  be  peace ; 
Good-will  henceforth,  from  heaven  to  men. 

Begin  and  never  cease."

No  powers  of  night  can  keep  His  soul 

Its  prison  bournes  within  ; 
Corruption  foul  can  ne'er  control 

His  form  unstained  by  sin. 
His  three  days  o'er,  He  conies  once  more 

To  tread  the  hallowed  sod 
By  Sion's  gate,  where  hellish  hate 

Had  slain  the  Son  of  God. 


3 
And  so,  through  Him  who  conquered  Death, 

May  we,  too,  upward  press 
From  death  of  sin  sweet  life  to  win 

Of  truth  and  holiness ! 
And,  like  the  Saints  returning  home 

With  Christ,  we  pray  that  we 
May  to  God's  holy  City  come 

And  true  Mount  Sion  see !

Come  sing  His  praises  loud  and  high, 

Ere  yet  appears  the  dawn — 
The  birth-day  of  our  Christian  hope ! 

The  glorious  Easter  Morn. 
3 
For  when  the  light  of  Easter  dawned, 

Victorious  in  the  strife. 
The  Saviour  burst  the  bands  of  death. 

And  won  our  endless  life. 


He  rose,  and  took  the  sting  from  death. 

Took  from  the  grave  its  might ; 
He  led  the  way  from  earth  to  heayen, 

Through  darkness  into  light.

"The  Lord  is  risen."  Let  each  voice 

Sing  carols  glad  and  gay. 
From  morn  till  eve  each  heart  repeat 

"The  Lord  is  risen  today !"

Silent  the  bells,  but  in  heart  and  with  voice.

Wakeful  shepherds  beheld  a  light; 
Heard  with  araaze  how  in  Bethlehem 
Jesus,  the  Saviour,  was  bom  for  them. 


Carol  of  how  all  on  the  hay 
He  whom  the  angels  told  of,  lay; 
Tenderly  cherished  by  Mary's  love, 
Rev'rently  worshipped  by  hosts  above. 


Carol  how  they  joyfully  ran. 
There  to  behold  ttieir  God  made  Man; 
Leaving  their  flocks  in  the  fields  to  be 
Kept  by  the  angels,  right  fearlessly. 


Carol  we  still  —  O  it  is  sweet 
Thus  the  Infant  Divine  to  greet. 
Know  that  He  loves  us,  feel  He  is  nigh, 
Though  He  is  God  who  reigneth  on  high. 


Carol  how  He  cometh  again. 
Seated  on  clouds,  the  Judge  of  men; 
Then  shall  His  children  with  great  delight 
Rise  up  to  meet  Him  in  glory  bright.

Shake  off  the  dust  from  thy  feet,  Bride  of  Christ, 
For  the  Conqueror,  girded  witli  might, 

Has  vanquished  the  foe,  the  dragon  east  down, 
And  the  cohorts  of  hell  put  to  flight.

Thou  art  the  Bride  of  His  love.  His  elect, 

Dry  thy  tears,  for  thy  sorrows  are  past; 
Lone  were  the  hours  when  thy  Lord  was  away, 

But  He  comes  with  the  morning  at  last. 


Once  they  arrayed  Him  with  scorn:  but  see! 

His  apparel  is  glorious  now; 
In  His  hands  are  the  keys  of  death  and  of  hell. 

And  the  diadem  gleams  on  His  brow.

Hark!  'tis  her  voice;  Alleluia  — she  sings  — 

Alleluia,  the  captives  are  free; 
Unfolded  the  gates  of  Paradise  stand. 

And  unfolded  for  ever  shall  be. 


The  winds  bear  the  noise  of  His  chariot  wheels. 

And  the  thunders  of  victory  roar; 
Lift  up  thy  beautiful  gates,  Bride  of  Christ, 

For  the  grave  has  dominion  no  more. 


Choir  answers  choir,  where  the  song  has  no  end, 
All  the  saints  raise  Hosannas  on  high ; 

Deep  calls  to  deep  in  the  ocean  of  love, 
As  the  Bride  lifts  her  jubilant  cry.

To  laborers  fainting,  bleeding, 

To  eyes  that  fill  with  tears, 
Still  on  the  blue  horizon 

A  new  white  field  appears. 
"To  where  the  angel  faces 

Look  pleadingly  to  Rome, 
And  green  ears  daily  ripen, 

Go  forth  from  friend  and  home." 
3 
"I  go,"  says  brave  Augustine, 

The  gospel  on  his  heart, 
"In  the  great  harvest  labour, 

"With  joy  to  take  my  part." 
On  white  cliffs  where  the  eagle 

Of  CoBsar  once  did  perch, 
Augustine  plants  Christ's  standard, 

And  founds  the  Christian  Church. 


And  through  the  sweep  of  ages 

His  followers  are  seen, 
Now  sowing,  and  now  reaping, 

Fields  ripening  and  green. 
The  garners  brim  not  over, 

The  labourers  are  few, 
Though  God  still  sends  His  sunshine, 

And  drops  His  quickening  dew 
5 
0  Master  of  the  corn-fields. 

Call  as  Thou  didst  of  old  ! 
Men's  hearts  will  leap  to  labour, 

And  reap  the  growing  gold. 
And  what  for  us  Augustine 

Did  work,  we  will  repay, 
To  other  lands  where  whitens 

God's  harvest  field  to-day.

Fill  up  the  swelling  chorus  of  universal  glee.

Go  forth,  My  Angel  Reapers, 

And  in  your  bosoms  bear 
The  sheaves  to  My  full  garner, 

And  store  the  Harvest  there."

An  -gels  still    glad  -  den  our  Christ-mas  morn,     And 


I  should  like  to  have  watched  the  great  stars  shine. 

As  they  did  that  Christmas  night; 
Till  my  heart  was  bright  with  a  heavenly  flame. 
And  my  soul  was  bathed  in  light. 
Cho.  But  the  stars  are  there  in  heaven  above, 
And  as  sweetly  still  they  shine; 
And  the  lapse  of  years  and  the  wear  of  time 
Make  no  change  in  that  heaven  of  mine. 


1  should  like  to  have  been  a  shepherd  there. 

To  have  watched  my  flock  by  night. 
To  have  seen  the  wonderful  glory  shine. 
Till  the  hills  were  paved  with  light. 
Cho.  But  I  need  no  Bethel  hill  to  climb 
Nor  a  shepherd  my  calling  be. 
For  I'm  but  a  sheep,  and  no  shepherd  I, 
That  Jesus  must  be  to  me. 


I  should  like  to  have  seen  that  manger  crib, 

To  have  knelt  before  that  shrine, 
To  have  laid  my  gift  at  those  tender  feet. 
And  have  worshipped  the  Babe  divine. 
Cho.  But  I  may  worship  that  Babe  to-day, 
And  as  truly  my  Christmas  see. 
For  His  presence  is  now  my  Bethlehem, 
And  His  love  shall  my  carol  be.

Trustfully  the  sages  sought  Him 

When  they  saw  the  star  arise, 
Beaming  brightly,  beckoning  onward, 

Moving  through  the  Eastern  skies. 
And  above  a  lowly  stable 

Soon  it  rested,  shining  clear; 
Entering,  the  wise  men  foimd  Him 

In  a  manger  rough  and  drear. 


Precious  gifts  of  gold  and  spices 

From  the  Orient  they  brought; 
Low  in  adoration,  bending 

To  tlie  King  whose  throne  they  sought. 
In  no  robe  of  royal  purple 

Was  He  clothed,  as  princes  wear, 
But  in  humblest  garb,  the  Saviour 

Came  our  eartlily  lot  to  share. 


As  the  wise  men  brought  their  treasures, 

Offering  them  on  bended  knee, 
So  may  we  our  prayer  and  praises 

Ever  offer,  Lord,  to  Thee. 
Let  us  then,  with  glad  Ilosannas, 

Sing  His  praise  with  sweet  accord, 
Who  was  born  this  day  to  save  us : 

Jesus,  Saviour,  Chbist,  the  Lord.

Let  earth  her  song  begin ! 
Let  the  round  world  keep  triumph.

'  Hail,  Prince  of  life !"  they  cry, 
"  Whose  unexampled  love, 
Moved  Thee  to  quit  these  glorious  realms 

And  royalties  above." 
And  when  He  stooped  to  earth, 

And  suffered  rude  disdain, 
They  cast  their  honors  at  His  feet. 
And  waited  in  His  train. 


They  saw  Him  on  the  cross, 
While  darkness  veiled  the  skies, 

And  when  He  burst  the  gates  of  death, 
They  saw  the  conqueror  rise. 

They  thronged  His  chariot  wheels, 
And  bore  Him  to  His  throne ; 

Then  swept  their  golden  harps  and  simg,— 

"  The  glorious  w^ork  is  done."

Away  through  fields  and  meadows  green, 

O'er  purple  heather-bed, 
By  mountain  pass,  or  deep  ravine. 

The  faithful  couple  sped. 
And  soft  and  sweet,  where'er  they  went, 

To  glad  the  weary  way, 
Sang  Mary  that  "Magnificat," 

Her  own,  her  ancient  lay. 
3 
O'er  head  the  storm-clouds  often  wept, 

And  tempests  o'er  them  passed, 
And  cold  around  tliem  often  swept 

The  bleak  December  blast. 
But  still  she  .sang  "  Magnificat" 

Through  weather  foul  or  fair; 
For  all  was  rest  within  her  breast, 

'T  was  always  sunshine  there. 

4 

And  when  the  pilgrimage  was  o'er. 

And  of  their  royal  kin. 
Not  one  would  open  wide  his  door, 

Ajttd  bid  them  enter  in ; 
Parish  Choir,  No.  442  — 4. 


Still  Mary  sang  "  Magnificat " 

With  ever  joyful  tone ; 
"  Whate'er  betide,  the  Lord,"  she  cried, 

"  Is  mindful  of  Ilis  own." 
5 
Worn  out  at  last,  and  ill  bestead, 

Right  glad  were  they  to  find 
Within  a  sorry  cattle-shed 

A  shelter  from  the  wind. 
And  Mary  sang  "  Magnificat " 

Right  through  that  wondrous  night. 
And  ere  the  birth  of  mom  on  earth 

Was  born  the  Light  of  Light. 
6 
Then  let  us  all  with  one  accord 

Join  Mary's  song,  and  say. 
"My  soul  doth  magnify  the  Lord" 

For  ever  and  for  aye. 
Loud  let  us  sing  "  Magnificat," 

That  dear  and  ancient  lay ; 
For  God's  own  Son  with  us  is  one. 

And  He  is  born  to-day.

2  Christ  is  risen !  Now  no  longer 

Hades  holds  the  Lord  of  life; 
Death  is  strong,  but  Christ  is  stronger, 

He  hath  conquer'd  in  the  strife- 
Once  for  us  He  crossed  the  river, 

Now  for  aye  He  lives  and  reigns, 
Of  eternal  life  the  giver 

Sees  the  fruits  of  all  His  pains- 


3  That  new  life  within  us  springing 

Die  we  daily  unto  sin ; 
Every  idol  boldly  flinging 

From  the  throne  of  Christ  within. 
Christ  is  risen!  He  in  dying. 

Rent  apart  the  Temple  veil ; 
By  His  rising  proof  supplying 

That  His  power  can  never  fail. 


4  Though  in  Adam  every  mortal 

Dies  at  the  appointed  hour, 
Yet  is  Hades'  gloomy  portal 

Conquered  by  the  Saviour's  power. 
Glory,  glory,  never  ceasing, 

(Into  Father,  Spirit,  Son  ! 
Praise  and  blessing,  still  increasing.

2  O  gladsome  Easter  morning ! 

Our  hearts  rejoice  today, 
The  grave  and  death  are  conquered 

He  is  of  Life  the  Way. 
The  hosts  of  sin  are  vanquished 

He  is  the  Victor  King ! 
Then  let  us  all  with  gladness 

Our  thankful  praises  sing. 


3  O  blessed  Easter  morning ! 

What  day  so  bright  as  this, 
When,  through  His  mighty  triumph, 

He  won  the  courts  of  bliss ! 
The  doors  of  Heaven  are  open, 

The  grave  no  more  has  dread ; 
For  risen  is  our  Saviour, 

The  first  fruits  of  the  dead.

Weeping,  bowed  with  sorrow. 
Little  dreaming  at  the  Tomb 

What  their  joy  to-morrow. 
Whom  they  sought  the  Lord  they  found 

Now  no  more  in  sadness ; 
Where  did  woe  and  grief  abound 

There  He  brought  the  gladness ! 


3  Lo,  in  all  our  sorrows  here. 

Often  deep  repining. 
Through  all  doubt  and  darksome  fear 

Easter  Sun  is  shining ; 
Wherefore  now  on  things  above 

Set  we  our  affection. 
Know  the  power  of  Jesus'  Love 

By  His  resurrection. 


4  Gladsome  birds,  fresh  breezes  tell 

With  the  sunny  weather 
That  dear  Creed  we  love  so  well 

"  All  things  rise  together." 
So  the  angels  joyfully 

Taught  the  wondrous  story. 
"  Christ  is  risen !    To  Galilee^ 

Go  and  preach  His  glory."

With  eager  hearts  did  wait. 
Where'er  His  footsteps  linger 

Shall  blossom  forth  the  rose  ; 
And  peace  shall  be  abounding 

Where'er  His  spirit  goes.

Amongst  the  poor  of  earth. 
Kings  brought  myrrh,  gold,  frankincense, 

To  offer  at  Thy  birth, 
The  host  of  heaven  triumphant 

A  glorious  strain  did  sing, 
"Peace  and  good  will  for  ever 

Through  Christ,  the  new-born  King."

And  angels  at  His  birth.

And  from  each  starry  orb  around, 
Broke  forth  such  strange,  celestial  sound, 
Th'entrancfed  shepherds  on  the  ground 

Stand  spell-bound,  inly  dreaming. 
If  such  divine,  melodious  hj^mn. 
Of  Cherubim  and  Seraphim, 
These  harmonies  that  round  them  swim. 

Are  real,  or  only  seeming. 
3 
Fear  not,  O  shepherds !  nought  but  bliss 
Can  come  of  heavenly  rout  like  this ; 
The  angel's  gracious  message  is 

(Love  with  his  accents  blended) 
"All  glory  be  to  God  on  high! 
And  peace  on  earth,  for  which  a  sigh 
Hath  long  been  raised,  e'en  now  is  nigh, 

Immanuel  hath  descended." 
4 
"  For  unto  you  this  Child  is  born. 
His  swaddling  clothes  hold  not  in  scorn, 
Nor  Virgin  Mother,  so  forlorn,  - 

His  nature  He  is  veiling ; 


The  Wonderful  — the  Counsellor, 
The  mighty  God  Himself  is  there. 
Has  come  your  deepest  woes  to  share — 
A  Saviour,  all-availing!" 

5 
Then  with  the  shepherds  we  will  go- 
Come,  young  and  old,  come,  high  and  low, 
We  '11  troop  to  Bethlehem  and  so 

Low  oending.  each  confessing. 
We  '11  cast  away  our  nature's  sin. 
Pardon  and  grace  we've  come  to  win. 
We  knock,  0  Jesus!  take  us  in. 

Into  Thy  fold  we're  pressing. 

6 
Thus  in  our  ears,  life's  path  along. 
Shall  linger  still  the  angels'  song. 
Its  theme  of  comfort,  simple,  strong, 

Till  heav'ns  bright  day  is  dawning; 
Nor  will  we  fail  with  honours  meet. 
With  thankful  hearts  and  carols  sweet. 
As  each  year  runs  its  course,  to  greet 

Thine  advent,  Christmas  morning  I

stooping  down  they  see  no  more 
Than  the  clothes  which  wrapped  Him  o'er  : 
Clothes  which  wound  His  feet,  His  brow, 
Death's  Avhite  vestments,  useless  now ; 
Two  depart :  but  love  and  faith 
Stronger  are  than  sight,  than  death  : 
At  the  tomb  where  Christ  hath  been, 
Watching  waits  the  Magdalene. 


Shines  their  glory  through  the  shade, 
"Where  His  Body  once  was  laid  : 
Hark,  with  glad  accord  they  cry, 
"  Jesus  lives,  no  more  to  die : 
Thy  dear  Lord  abides  not  here  ; 
He  is  risen  ;  do  not  fear  ; 
Mary,  wipe  thy  tears  away, 
See  the  place  where  Jesus  lay." 


He  was  here  ;  then  she  "will  wait, 
Watching  early,  watching  late  ; 
Where  her  Jesus  last  was  seen. 
There  will  wait  the  Magdalene. 
Looking  in  with  streaming  eyes. 
Angels  twain  she  there  espies  : 
Angels  there  are  sitting  now. 
Clothed  in  raiment  white  as  snow. 


Turning  round  she  sees  Him  stand 
In  the  garden  close  at  hand  : 
"Mary  !  "  'tis  His  accent  now : 
"  Master ;  it  is  Thou,  'tis  Thou ! " 
Lord,  devoutly  at  Thy  feet, 
We  with  her  would  thanks  repeat: 
Be  Thou  by  Thy  saints  adored, 
Risen  Jesus,  God  and  Lord.

How  the  bitter  winter  weather  Let  us  not  forget  in  gladness  Welcome,  dear  old  Christmas,  welcome  J 

Beats  without  the  window-pane !  That  the  poor  are  at  the  gate ;  Well  we  've  loved  thee  in  the  past- 
Closer  draw  the  chairs  together,  Let  us  think  how  want  and  sadness  And,  when  graver  grown  and  older, 
Hand  clasp  hand  in  friendly  strain :    Often  are  their  only  fate :  Still  we  '11  love  and  hold  thee  fast :

'T  was  but  yester-eve  He  lay 

In  the  garden,  calmly  sleeping ; 
'T  was  but  at  the  break  of  day 

Faithful  Mary  sought  Him,  weeping, 
In  the  solemn  garden  ground, 
Loving  much,  she  sought  and  found.

Where  the  golden  lily-heads 

Heavy  with  the  dews  are  bending, 
Where  the  fragrant  cedar  spreads, 

Who,  along  the  path,  is  wending? 
"  Mary !  "  't  was  the  only  word,  — 
Then  she  knew  it  was  the  Lord.

Tell,  O  bells  of  Easter  tide, 

How,  from  winter's  sleep  awaking. 
Earth  hath  laid  her  shroud  aside : 

Streams,  their  icy  bonds  are  breaking, 
Leaflets  swell,  and  glad  birds  sing 
Thankful  hymns  to  Heaven's  King. 

5 
Brightest  buds  and  flowers  to-day 

Shew  the  world  that  Christ  is  risen, 
And  by  symbols  teach  the  way 

That  we  too  shall  burst  our  prison. 
Loudly  then  the  tidings  ring, 
"  Christ  has  conquered, "  "  Christ  is  King.  **

Jesus  springs  from  death  and  scorning, 
On  this  gladsome  Easter  morning. 
Children,  sing  that  glorious  rising. 
Earth  and  Heaven  with  joy  surprising : 
Echo  back  the  angels'  chanting, — 
Let  no  voice  to-day  be  wanting ; — 
In  excelsis  Gloria ! 


Risen  is  He  with  power  to  save  us, 
From  the  sins  that  still  enslave  us ; 
Risen  in  majesty  to  lead  us. 
To  the  home  in  heaven  decreed  us ; 
Fittest  music  for  this  Mirth-Day 
Is  the  chant  that  hailed  His  Birth-Day 
In  excelsis  Gloria  1 


Holy  Christ,  accept  the  praises, 
Which  each  feeble  voice  upraises  ; 
And  when  life  shall  here  have  ending. 
May  our  souls  to  Thee  ascending, 
Join  Thy  saints, —  like  them  forgiven,- 
In  that  happiest  song  of  heaven : — 
In  excelsis  Gloria.

2  Ring  tenderly !  Ring  tenderly ! 

O  holy  Christmas  bells : 
For  ever  with  your  earthly  peal 

A  heavenly  chorus  swells ; 
The  angels,  who  were  first  to  bring 

The  welcome  news  to  men, 
Still  joiQ  with  us  to  celebrate 

The  Siviour's  birth  again ; 
And  so'Tie  whom  we  have  loved  and  lost 

Sing  "-arols  with  us  now, 
With  e>ll  the  old  love  in  their  hearts, 

An(*  new  light  on  their  brow. 

C  Ring  joyously!  Ring  joyously! 

O  blessed  Christmas  bells; 
And  show  us  of  the  future  good 

Your  welcome  chime  foretells. 
■|VS  know  't  will  be  a  mingled  lot 

Of  pleasure,  pain  and  strife ; 


That  thorns  will  cluster  round  the  flowers, 

Along  our  path  of  life ; 
But  ye  shall  sing  to  us  of  hope ; 

Of  help,  of  love  untold  ; 
Reminding  us  of  that  bright  star 

That  tips  our  clouds  with  gold. 

4  Ring  merrily!  Ring  merrily! 

O  dear  old  Christmas  bells. 
And  bring  all  holy  blessings  down 

From  where  all  mercy  dwells. 
Ring  out  your  gentle  messages. 

As  ye  have  done  of  old. 
To  help  the  weary  and  the  sad. 

The  weaklings  of  the  fold ; 
And  tell  again  the  cheering  tale 

Of  Ilim  who  bore  our  woe ; 
And  gave  His  own  heart's  life  and  love. 

For  breaking  hearts  below.

Freely  gave  us

Careful  of  Thy  lambs  below. 
Still  her  faithful  watch  is  keeping, 

Till  her  cup  of  joy  o'erfiow  ;

H.  F.  Smith. 


The     world      it     -      self      keeps     Eas    -    ter      Day,     And         Eas    -    ter         larks     are 


j,4.^j   .n 


There  stood  three  Maries  by  the  tomb, 

Ou  Easter  morning  early  — 
When  day  had  scarcely  chased  the  gloom, 
And  dew  was  white  and  pearly. 
Alleluia!  Alleluia! 
With  loving,  but  with  erring,  mind 
They  came  the  Prince  of  Life  to  find, 
Alleluia!  Alleluia! 

3 
But  earlier  still  the  angel  sped. 
His  news  of  comfort  giving; 
And  "  Wliy,"  he  said,  "  among  the  dead 
Thus  seek  ye  for  the  Living?" 
Alleluia!  Alleluia! 
"  Go  tell  them  all,  and  make  them  blest, 
Tell  Peter  first,  and  then  the  rest." 
Alleluia!  Alleluia! 


But  one,  and  one  alone,  remained, 

With  love  that  could  not  vary ; 
And  thus  a  higher  joy  she  gained. 
That  sometime  sinner.  Mary. 
Alleluia!  Alleluia! 
The  first  the  dear,  dear  form  to  see. 
Of  Him  that  hung  upon  the  tree. 
Alleluia!  Alleluia! 


The  world  itself  keeps  Easter  Day, 

And  Easter  larks  are  singing ; 
And  Easter  flow'rs  are  blooming  gay, 
And  Easter  buds  are  springing. 
Alleluia!  Alleluia! 
The  Lord  of  all  things  lives  anew. 
And  all  His  works'  are  living  too. 
Alleluia!  Alleluia!

Wise  men  hastened  from  the  East 

To  bring  their  richest  treasure — 
Gold,  and  myrrh,  and  frankincense, 

And  jewels  without  measure. 
Him  they  sought,  although  a  King, 

They  found  in  birthplace  lowly, 
There  within  a  manger  lay 

The  babe  so  pure  and  holy. 
Ring  the  merry  Christmas  bells,  etc. 


Earthly  crowns  were  not  for  Him  ; 

He  came  God's  love  revealing ; 
On  the  Cross  He  died  for  us. 

His  blood  forgiveness  sealing. 
'T  is  the  Saviour  promised  long, 

Ring  out  your  loudest  praises  ; 
Every  heart  this  happy  day 

Its  grateful  anthems  raises.

cr        Glory  to  God  on  high ! 
Yet  wakes  the  sun  as  joyous 

As  when  the  Lord  was  born, 
And  still  He  comes  to  greet  you 
On  every  Christmas  morn. 

Chorus.  —  Ring  out  the  bells,  etc.

p  Where'er  His  sweet  lambs  gather 
Within  this  gentle  fold, 
The  Saviour  dear  is  waiting  near 

As  in  the  days  of  old  : 
In  each  young  heart  you  see  Him, — 

In  every  guileless  face 
You  see  the  Holy  Jesus, 

Who  grew  in  truth  and  grace. 
Choeus.  —  Ring  out  the  bells,  etc. 


p  In  many  a  darksome  cottage, 
In  many  a  crowded  street, 
In  winter  bleak,  with  shivering  cheek, 

The  homeless  child  you  meet; 
Gaze  on  the  pale  wan  features, 

The  feet  with  wandering  sore. 
You  see  the  souls  He  loveth, 
The  Christ-Child  at  the  door. 
Chorus.  —  Ring  out  the  bells,  etc.

/  Then  sing  your  gladsome  carols. 
And  hail  the  new-born  Sun  ; 
For  Christmas  light  is  passing  bright, 

It  smiles  on  every  one. 
And  feast  Christ's  little  children, 

His  poor.  His  orphan  call ; 
For  He  who  chose  the  manger,  — 
cr      He  loveth  one  and  all. 

Chorus.  —  Ring  out  the  bells,  etc.

Our  hearts  be  pure  from  evil, 
That  we  may  see  aright 
The  Lord  in  rays  eternal 
Of  resurrection  light ; 
And  listening  to  His  accents, 
May  hear,  so  calm  and  plain 
His  own  "  All  hail,"  and  hearing, 
May  raise  the  victor  strain. 
Parish  Choir,  No.  807  — 4. 


Now  let  the  heavens  be  joyful ; 

Let  earth  her  song  begin ; 

The  round  world  keep  high  triumph, 

And  all  that  is  therein ; 

Let  all  things  seen  and  unseen 

Their  notes  together  blend, 

For  Christ  the  Lord  is  risen. 

Our  joy  that  hath  no  end.

He  conquered  all  that  did  oppose, 

With  fiend  and  demon  warring, 
And  bravely  battled  'gainst  our  foes 

"With  wounds  His  visage  marring. 
He  met,  at  length,  the  last  of  all. 

That  dreaded  foe  called  Death, 
And  on  the  Cross  did  seem  to  fall 

Beneath  his  noxious  breath. 


But  now,  to-day  we  sing  the  song 

Which  tells  His  triumph  o'er  him. 
Death  could  not  hold  "  the  Master  "  long 

And  so  gave  way  before  Him.

Within  the  star  so  great  and  sheen, 
A  golden-crowned  Babe  is  seen ; 
His  sceptre  is  a  crown  of  gold, 
His  face  like  sunshine  to  behold, 
God,  evermore  to  man  below, 
Light  from  yon  blissful  star  bestow. 
3 
From  eastern  land,  in  haste  the  while, 
They  journey  many  a  weary  mile  ; 
O'er  hill  and  vale,  through  sleet  and  snow, 
By  frith  and  fen,  on,  on  they  go. 
God,  may  the  pathway  never  be 
Too  tough  and  hard  that  leads  to  Thee. 
4 
Though  Herod  welcome  bade  the  kings. 
Their  hearts  are  full  of  other  things. 
Forth  from  the  stately  court  in  speed. 
They  to  the  lowly  crib  proceed. 

God,  nought  till  death,  whate'er  betide, 
Us  from  the  right  road  turn  aside. 

Parish  Choir,  No.  845  —  4. 


Now  when  the  kings  came  to  the  stall, 
Before  the  Babe  they  straightway  fall; 
Each  saintly  pilgrim  then  presents 
His  gold,  or  myrrh,  or  frankincense. 
God,  take  our  gifts,  at  best  but  small, 
Goods,  body,  soul,  life,  heart,  and  all. 
6 
By  frankincense  the  three  proclaim 
That  God  Almighty  is  His  Name  ; 
Myrrh,  to  the  Son  of  Man  they  bring. 
And  gold,  in  token  of  her  King. 

God,  keep  us  steadfast  in  this  creed, 
From  heresy  and  schism  freed. 
7 
Our  Lady  fain  the  kings  doth  greet. 
E'en  bids  them  kiss  her  baby  sweet ; 
Viaticum  it  was,  in  fay. 
To  cheer  them  on  their  homeward  way. 
God,  grant,  when  death  shall  us  de])art. 
This  heav'nly  bread  may  cheer  our  heart.

"  Christ  is  risen  from  the  dead !  " 


Every  people,  every  nation 

Soon  shall  hear  the  gladsome  sound. 
Joyous  tidings  of  salvation 

Borne  to  earth's  remotest  bound. 
Then  shall  rise  in  tones  excelling, 

Praise  for  grace  so  freely  shed, 
And  the  Easter  hymn  be  swelling, 

"  Christ  is  risen  from  the  dead  1 " 


Parish  Choir,  No.  859—4. 


Victor  now,  to  heaven  ascended, 

Seated  on  the  Father's  throne, 
Christ,  in  Whom  our  nature  blended, 

Will  His  blessed  children  own. 
If  above,  in  glory  meeting, 

We  the  heavenly  courts  should  tread, 
Sweeter  then  will  sound  the  greeting, 

"  Christ  is  risen  from  the  dead ! "

•Little  Christian  children,  tell 
How  your  King  hath  vanquished  hell, 
As  you  say,  has  risen  again, 
He  Who  in  the  grave  has  lain. 


•  Hark !  he  speaks  to  calm  their  fear 
"  He  is  risen.  He  is  not  here, 
Gone  before  to  Galilee, 
There  your  Master  ye  shall  see." 


Childben.  —  Faithless  watch  the  sentries  kept, 
Bitter  tears  the  women  wept, 
Till  they  saw  the  Angel  bright, 
Clad  in  raiment  fair  and  white. 


Choib.  —  Little  Christian  children,  sing, 
Praising  loud  your  risen  King; 
We  too  share  your  joyful  strain, 
Christ  our  Passover  is  slain.

There  stood  three  Marys  by  the  tomb, 

On  Easter  morning  early, 
When  day  had  scarcely  chased  the  gloom, 
And  dew  was  white  and  pearly  : 

Hallelujah  !    Hallelujah  I         (Organ.) 
With  loving,  but  with  erring  mind, 
They  came  the  Prince  of  Life  to  find  : 

Hallelujah  1    Hallelujah  1         {Organ.) 


But  one,  and  one  alone  remained. 

With  love  that  could  not  vary, 

And  thus  a  joy  past  joy  she  gained, 

The  sometime  sinner,  IMary  : 

Hallelujah!    Hallelujah!  (Organ.) 

The  first  the  dear,  dear  form  to  see 
Of  Him  that  hung  upon  the  tree  : 

Hallelujah!    HaUelujah  I  (Organ.) 


But  earlier  still  the  Angel  sped, 

His  news  of  comfort  giving  ; 
And  "  Why,"  he  said,  "  among  the  dead 
Thus  seek  ye  for  the  Living  ?  " 

Hallelujah!    Plallelujah !  (Organ.) 

"  Go,  t«ll  them  all,  and  make  them  blest ; 
Tell  Peter  first,  and  then  the  rest :  " 

Hallelujah!    Hallelujah!  (Organ.) 


The  world  itself  keeps  Easter  Day, 

And  Easter  larks  are  singing ; 
And  Easter  flowers  are  blooming  gay. 
And  Easter  buds  are  springing : 

Hallelujah  I    Hallelujah  !        ^(Organ.) 
The  Lord  hath  risen,  as  all  things  tell ; 
Good  Christians,  see  ye  rise  as  well : 

Hallelujah  !    Hallelujah  I  '^  Amen. 


Sing  these  last  two  lines  slower,  with  a  pause  at  the  end  of  each.

With  their  faith  unswerving ; 
Heroes  of  the  Church  of  God  — 
So  would  we  be  serving.

Satan's  hosts  assail  us, 
We've  a  Captain  in  command 
Who  will  never  fail  us ; 

Fierce  may  rage  the  battle  strife, 
Nothing  shall  alarm  us  ; 
Pressing  to  eternal  life 
Not  a  shaft  shall  harm  us.

For  death  no  more  shall  reign;

There  is  life  eternal ; 
Sing  of  peace,  peace,  peace; 

Earth  and  skies 

Bid  it  rise, 
Gloria  in  excelsis. — Amen! 


Then  be  brave,  then  be  true. 
Ye  despised  and  ye  few, 
For  the  crown  is  for  you; 
Christ,  that  went  before  you, 
Spreads  His  buckler  o'er  you; 
Sing  of  hope,  hope,  hope; 

And  today 

Raise  the  lay. 
Gloria  in  excelsis. — Amen !

The  shade  and  gloom  of  life  are  fled 

This  resurrection  day ; 
Henceforth  in  Christ  are  no  more  dead, 

The  grave  hath  no  more  prey. 
In  Christ  we  live,  in  Christ  we  sleep, 

In  Christ  we  wake  and  rise  ; 
And  the  sad  tears  death  makes  us  weep. 

He  wipes  from  all  our  eyes. 


Then  wake,  glad  heart !  awake,  awake ! 

And  seek  thy  risen  Lord  ; 
Joy  in  His  resurrection  take 

And  comfort  in  His  word. 
And  let  thy  life,  through  all  its  ways, 

One  long  thanksgiving  be  ; 
Its  theme  of  joy,  its  song  of  praise, 

"Christ  died  and  rose  for  me."

Wise  men  hastened  from  the  East 

To  bring  their  richest  treasure  — 
Gold,  and  myrrh,  and  frankincense, 

And  jewels  without  measure. 
Him  they  sought,  although  a  King, 

They  found  in  birthplace  lowly, 
There  within  a  manger  lay 

The  Babe  so  pure  and  holy. 
Ring  the  merry  Christmas  bells,  etc. 


Earthly  crowns  were  not  for  Him; 

He  came  God's  love  revealing; 
On  the  Cross  He  died  for  us, 

His  Blood  forgiveness  sealing. 
'Tis  the  Saviour  promised  long, 

Ring  out  your  loudest  praises; 
Every  heart  this  happy  day 

Its  grateful  anthem  raises. 
Ring  the  merry  Christmas  bells,  etc.

Pangs  of  torture  sore  did  brook, 
Shedding  forth  His  precious  Blood, 

Paid  the  things  that  ne'er  He  took.

Thus  seek  ye  for  the  living?"

"Go,  tell  them  all,  and  make  them  blest 
Tell  Peter  first,  and  then  the  rest."

With  love  that  could  not  vary ; 
And  thus  a  joy  past  joy  she  gained,

ai^04=^^=j. 


2  Not  here  across  the  snow  was  heard 

The  first  sweet  Christmas  song  ; 
But  where  the  crimson  lilies  bloom, 

Judea's  hills  among  ; 
Those  hills  where  David  long  before 

His  father's  sheep  had  kept ; 
And  where,  o'er  Rachel's  lonely  tomb, 

The  mourning  Jacob  wept. 

3  And  not  by  earthly  choristers 

Was  that  first  carol  sung ; 
Not  through  the  temple's  shining  courts 

Its  faultless  music  rung  ; 
No  listening  crowds  had  gathered  there. 

That  wondrous  chant  to  hear  : 
Save  watchful  shepherds  on  the  hills, 

No  human  soul  was  near. 


4  'Twas  sung  by  countless  multitudes 

Of  Angels  pure  and  bright, 
And  o'er  the  bare  and  silent  hills 

There  shone  a  glorious  light ; 
Such  heavenly  music  ne'er  was  heard 

Before  by  sons  of  men, 
And  never  more  shall  song  like  that 

Be  heard  on  earth  again. 

5  We  know  the  tidings  which  they  brought 

Of  Christ  our  Saviour's  birth, 
Their  song  of  "  Glory  be  to  God, 

Good  will  and  peace  on  earth;" 
In  crowded  church  and  quiet  homes 

We  chant  that  carol  still ; 
'Tis  heard  from  city  streets  and  courts, 

From  vale  and  lonely  hill. 


Parish  Choir,  No.  1044  —  4. 


6  For  us  the  gracious  Saviour  came, 

For  us  He  lived  and  died, 
For  us  was  born  a  little  Babe, 

For  us  was  crucified : 
And  so  the  Christmas  carol,  sung 

By  angels  long  ago. 
Is  sweeter  than  all  other  songs 

Which  Christians  sing  below.

0  sons  of  men,  this  blessed  morn 

For  you  with  joy  is  fraught. 

For  Jesus  Christ  to-day  is  born. 

And  hath  salvation  brought ! 

Lo !  Eden's  gates  are  open  now, 

And  heaven  stoops  to  kiss 
All  faithful  sons  who  humbly  bow 
To  Him  who  brings  them  bliss.

0  what  glory,  far  exceeding 

All  that  eye  has  yet  perceived  ! 
Holiest  hearts,  for  ages  pleading, 

Never  that  full  joy  conceived. 
God  has  promised,  Christ  prepares  it. 

There  on  high  our  welcome  waits ; 
Every  humble  spirit  shares  it ; 

Christ  has  passed  the  eternal  gates. 


"  Life  eternal ! "  Heaven  rejoices ; 

Jesus  lives  Who  once  was  dead ; 
Join,  0  man,  the  deathless  voices  ; 

Child  of  God,  lift  up  thy  head. 
Patriarchs  from  distant  ages. 

Saints  all  longing  for  their  heaven, 
Prophets,  psalmists,  seers,  and  sagea, 

All  await  the  glory  given. 


"  Life  eternal !  "  0  what  wonders 

Crowd  on  faith —  what  joy  unknown. 
When,  amidst  earth's  closing  thunders 

Saints  shall  stand  before  the  throne ! 
O  to  enter  that  bright  portal, 

See  that  glowing  firmament, 
Know,  with  Thee,  0  God  Immortal,

Has  come  to  earth  to  die. 

No  doubts  or  fear  could  hold  Him  here, 

Detained  by  mortal  breath, 

For  now  He  lives 

And  freely  gives 

Redemption  over  death !

2  Came  angels  down,  a  number. 

On  the  midniglit  of  His  birth  : 
"  Ye  shepherds,  wake  from  slumber ; 

Peace,  good  will  on  earth, 
And  bliss  on  high,  "  the  angels  cry, 

"  To  you  is  born  and  given, 
Eya !  of  maid  Marie, 

Th'  Almighty  Lord  of  heaven." 

3  Then  rode  three  kings  together, 

Over  desert,  hill,  and  dale ; 
Nought  caring  for  the  weather, 
Sleet,  and  snow,  and  hail. 
Parish  Choir,  No.  1095—8. 


They  came  from  far,  led  by  a  star, 
With  beams  that  never  vary  : 

Eya  !  full  fain  they  are 
To  see  the  Babe  of  Mary. 

4  Away  then  banish  sorrow; 

Nato  Regi  psallite  : 
Sith  Christ  is  born  this  morrow ; 

Benedicite. 
With  Angels  eke  and"  shepherds  meek, 

And  with  yon  Eastern  Sages, 
Eya  !  let  us  go  seek 

The  new-born  King  of  ages.

3  Christ  has  left  His  throne  of  glory, 

And  a  lowly  cradle  found : 
Well  might  angels  tell  the  story, 

Well  may  we  their  words  resound. 
Christian  children,  wake  and  listen, 

Songs  are  ringing  through  the  earth, 
While  the  stars  in  heaven  glisten, 

Hail  with  joy  your  Saviour's  birth ! 


2  What  is  this  that  they  are  telling. 

Singing  in  the  quiet  street, 
While  their  voices  high  are  swelling, 

What  sweet  words  do  they  repeat  ? 
Words  to  bring  us  greater  gladness. 

Though  our  hearts  from  cares  are  free. 
Words  to  chase  away  our  sadness, 

Cheerless  though  our  hearts  may  be.

2  There  stood  three  Maries  by  the  tomb, 

On  Easter  morning  early, 
When  day  had  scarcely  chased  the  gloom, 
And  dew  was  white  and  pearly; 
Alleluia!  Alleluia! 
With  loving  but  with  erring  mind 
They  came  the  Prince  of  Life  to  find, 
Cum  pia  servitute. 

3  But  earlier  still  the  Angel  sped 

His  news  of  comfort  giving; 
And  "why,"  he  said,  "among  the  dead 
"Thus  seek  ye  for  the  living?" 
Alleluia!  Alleluia! 
"  Go  tell  them  all  and  make  them  blest, 
"  Tell  Peter  first,  and  then  the  rest," 
Mandatum  hoc  secute. 


But  one,  and  one  alone  remained, 
With  love  that  could  not  vary; 
And  thus  a  joy  past  joy  she  gained, 
That  sometime  sinner,  Mary: 
Alleluia!  Alleluia! 
The  first  the  dear,  dear  form  to  see 
Of  Him  who  hung  upon  the  tree 

Pro  homiiium  salute. 
The  Church  is  keeping  Easter  Day, 
And  Easter  hymns  are  sounding, 
And  Easter  flowers  are  blooming  gay, 
The  holy  Eont  surrounding ; 
Alleluia!  Alleluia! 
The  Lord  hath  risen,  as  all  things  tell. 
Good  Christians,  see  ye  rise  as  well.

With  holy  mirth, 
To  greet  His  birth. 

Draw  nigh  that  Infant's  bed  ; 
Be  not  afraid, 
For  He  is  laid 

Within  a  lowly  shed. 
There  bend  the  knee. 
For  this  is  He, 

Of  David's  royal  lino. 
Who  reigns  alone 
From  manger-throne. 

In  Majesty  Divine.

Nowel!  Nowel! 
Our  song  shall  tell 

To  people  yet  unborn. 
How  Christ  the  King 
Did  gladness  bring 

Upon  this  happy  morn. 
The  gloom  departs 
From  faithful  hearts, 

For  lo !  the  Lord  is  here. 
Come  one  and  all. 
Before  Him  fall. 

That  Blessed  Babe  revere.

To  the  humble  Bethlehem  shepherds, 

On  the  first  glad  Christmas  morn, 
Sang  the  choir  of  God  angelic, 

"  Christ,  the  Son  of  God,  is  born." 
When  the  dew  was  white  and  pearly, 

Flashed  a  light  across  the  sky. 
In  the  early  morning,  early, 

"  Glory  be  to  God  on  high." 

Parish  Choir,  No.  1142  —  6 


Glory  in  the  heavens  eternal, 

Upon  earth  be  glory,  too, 
For  the  day  of  grace  liath  broken. 

And  a  King  is  born  to  you. 
In  the  early  morning,  early, 

"  Glory  be  to  God  on  high  " 
Rang  the  sound  of  angels  harping 

Through  the  stilly  list'oing  sky.

And  gathered  all  above, 
While  mortals  sleep,  the  angels  keep 
Their  watch  of  wondering  love. 
/    0  morning  stars,  together 
Proclaim  the  holy  birth  ! 
And  praises  sing  to  God  the  King, 
And  peace  to  men  on  earth. 


mp    How  silently,  how  silently. 

The  wondrous  gift  is  given  ! 
So  God  imparts  to  human  hearts 

The  blessings  of  His  heaven. 
No  ear  may  hear  His  coming, 

But  in  this  world  of  sin. 
Where  meek  souls  will  receive  Him  still, 

The  dear  Christ  enters  in. 


mf    O  holy  Child  of  Bethlehem  I 
Descend  to  us,  we  pray  ; 
Cast  out  our  sin,  and  enter  in. 
Be  born  in  us  to-day. 
/    We  hear  the  Christmas  angeb 
The  great  glad  tidings  tell ; 
0  come  to  us,  abide  with  us, 
Our  Lord  Emmanuel !

A  stable  and  a  manger,  where 

The  oxen  lowed  around, 
Was  all  the  shelter  Bethlehem  gave, 

The  welcome  that  they  found  !

"Who  on  that  night  her  First-born  Son 

There  in  the  manger  laid.

The  King  of  kings,  and  Lord  of  lords,

And  yet  we  know  that  little  Babe 

Was  tender  to  the  touch.

In  swaddling  bands  she  wrapped  Him  round, 

And  smoothed  His  couch  of  straw, 
While  unseen  Angels  watched  beside, 

In  mute,  adoring  awe. 
How  softly  did  they  fold  their  wings 

Beneath  that  star-lit  shed, 
While  Eastern  Sages  from  afar 

The  new-born  radiance  led !

And  thus  it  is,  from  age  to  age. 

That  as  this  night  comes  'round, 
So  sweetly,  underneath  the  moon, 

The  Christmas  carols  sound. 
Because  to  us  a  Child  is  born 

Our  Brother,  and  our  King, 
Angels  in  Heaven,  and  we  on  earth, 

Our  joyCul  anthems  sing.

Live  to  Thee,

Dying,  shall  not  perish ;

Far  on  high, 

In  the  joy 
That  can  alter  never.

This  never  more  can  be  ; 
We  cannot  bring  again  the  days 

Of  our  unshadowed  glee. 
But  Christmas,  happy  Christmas, 

Sweet  herald  of  good  will, 
With  holy  songs  of  glory 

Brings  holy  gladness  stilL 
For  peace  and  hope  may  brighten, 

And  patient  love  may  glow,

Ev  -  'ry-where.  Now  with  joy    is     ring  -  ing. 


Brethren,  come,  from  all  doth  grieve  you 

You  are  freed.  All  you  need 
I  will  surely  give  you." 
Come  then,  let  us  hasten  yonder; 

Here  let  all.  Great  and  small, 
Kneel  in  awe  and  wonder. 
Love  Him  who  with  love  is  yearning, 

Hail  the  Star  That  from  afar 
Bright  with  hope  is  burning !

Three  -women  drew  nigh  to  the  grave  at  the 

dawn,  [was  gone; 

The  stone  was  rolled  back,  and  their  Saviour 
And  two  shining  Angels  in  garments  so  white, 
With  words  of  great  joy  put  their  sorrows  to 

flight. 
"All  hail,  blessed  women  !  TN'hy  weep  for  the 

dead? 
Your  Lord  is  not  here,  He  is  ris'n,  as  He  said; 
Now  come,  see  the  place  where  the  Lord  lately 

lay. 
Then  haste,spread  the  news — He  is  risen  to-day. 


2  'Twas  all  in  a  sepulchre  Joseph  had  made,       4 
Kough-hewn  in  the  rock,  that  our  Saviour  was 

laid; 
And  Joseph  had  rolled  a  great  stone  to  the  door. 
And  Pilate  had  sealed  it  to  make  it  more  sure. 


3  There   soldiers    kept    watch,    keeping    guard 
night  and  day 
For  fear  that  the  Christ  should  be  stolen  away; 
But  vain  were  the  vigil  and  craft  of  His  foes, 
Triumphant  o'er  death  and  the  grave  He  arose.

There  was  a  rock-hewn  Grave 

In  Joseph's  garden-ground, 
Where  Christ's  dear  Body  buried  lay, 

With  soldiers  watching  round. 
But  ere  the  dawn  was  risen 

Upon  that  Easter  Morn, 
The  King  of  Life  had  burst  His  prison 

And  put  His  foes  to  scorn. 
And  ere  the  sun  was  high 

On  that  third  happy  day, 
An  Angel  bright  flew  from  the  sky 

And  rolled  the  stone  away.

Their  spices  rich  and  rare ; 
The  Grave  was  ope'd,  the  Lord  they  sought 
No  longer  rested  there, 

7  0  what  a  wondrous  sight ; 

The  soldiers  all  were  gone, 

And  lo,  behold  an  Angel  bright 

Was  sitting  on  the  stone. 

8  "  Fear  not,"  he  gently  said, 

"  Ye  seek  your  Lord  again, 
But  He  is  risen,  and  left  His  bed, 
Come,  see  where  He  has  lain."

2  At  early  morn  around  His  tomb 

A  wondrous  light  was  beaming, 
And  from  its  depths  a  sweet  perfume, 
Like  fragrant  spices,  streaming ! 
Alleluia ! 
"While  angels  stood  beside  the  door 
Which  He  had  opened  evermore, 
And  said  to  His  Disciples  dear 
The  Lord  is  risen  —  He  is  not  here  ! 
Alleluia !  Praise  the  Lord  ! 

3  The  joyous  news  of  Easter  spread, — 

Tell  far  and  wide  the  story 
That  JESUS  lives,  Who  once  was  dead, 
And  reigns  the  King  of  glory  ! 
Alleluia ! 
His  hand  a  jewelled  sceptre  bears  — 
His  head  a  crown  immortal  wears  — 
And,  writ  in  gems  upon  His  breast, 
Are  names  of  those  He  loves  the  best  1 
Alleluia !  Praise  the  Lord  ! 

4  Bring  flashing  jewels  to  adorn 

His  crown  of  royal  glory ! 
Let  diamonds  gleam  where  cruel  thorn 
Once  pressed  His  temples  gory ! 

Alleluia !

2  Met  -were  they  to  hear  and  judge 

The  teaching  of  a  stranger ; 
O'er  the  ocean  he  had  come, 

Through  want,  and  toil,  and  danger ; 
And  he  worship'd  for  his  God 

One  cradled  in  a  manger. 
Evermore,  etc. 

3  While  he  spake  against  their  gods, 

And  temples'  vain  erection. 
Patiently  they  gave  him  ear, 

And  granted  him  protection  ; 
'Till  with  bolder  voice  and  mien 

He  preach'd  The  Resurrection. 
Evermore,  etc. 
ParUh  Choir,  No.  1369-4. 


4  Some  they  scoff'd,  and  some  they  spake 
Of  blasphemy  and  treason ; 
Some  replied  with  laughter  loud, 
And  some  replied  with  reason  ; 
Others  put  it  off  until 
A  more  convenient  season. 
Evermore,  etc. 

5  Athens  heard  and  scorn'd  it  then, 
Now  Europe  hath  received  it ; 
Wise  men  mock'd  and  jeer'd  it  once, 

Now  children  have  believed  it ; 
This,  good  Christians,  was  the  day 
That  gloriously  achieved  it.

And  yet  whose  faith  hath  constant  been, 
In  Life  eternal  they  shall  reign.

In  many  a  darksome  cottage, 

In  many  a  crowded  street, 
In  Winter  bleak,  with  shivering  cheek 

The  homeless  child  you  meet ; 
Gaze  on  the  pale  wan  features, 

The  feet  with  wandering  sore, 
You  see  the  souls  He  loveth 

The  Christ-child  at  the  door. 
Parish  Choir.  No.  1394  -  8. 


Then  sing  your  gladsome  carols 

And  hail  the  new-born  sun  ; 
For  Christmas  light  is  passing  bright, 

It  smiles  on  every  one. 
And  feast  Christ's  little  children, 

His  poor,  His  orphan  call ; 
For  He  who  chose  the  manger, 

He  loveth  one  and  all.

Shall  all  the  nations  sway. 
Shall  bless  and  rule  and  fill  each  heart, 

Shall  bid  all  sorrows  cease. 
And  give  His  own  the  better  part 

Of  everlasting  peace.

"Christ  the  Lord  to  man  is  born !" 
Are  not  all  our  hearts  too  singing, 

"Welcome,  welcome,  Christmas  morn?

Smiles  as  through  the  ages  past.

Oh,  rest  Thee,  let  her  fold  Thee 
To  that  full  heart,  whose  life  is  Thine, 
Ere  ruder  hands  shall  hold  Thee.

With  offerings  rich  and  holy  ; 
The  treasures  of  our  life  we  bring, 
0  Son  of  Mary  lowly. 
Glad  Angels  hover  nigh. 
To  waft  on  high  their  lullaby.

3  Hovering  o'er  the  hallowed  stable 

Choirs  of  Angels  carols  sing. 
Glory,  glory  in  the  highest, 
Hail  to  Thee,  O  Christ  our  King  ! 

4  Shepherds,  leave  your  flocks,  and  hasten 

To  adore,  on  bended  knee ; 
Wrapped  in  swaddling  clothes  your  Saviour 
Israel's  Shepherd,  ye  shall  see. 
Parish  Choir,  No.  1493  —  4. 


5  Children,  year  by  year  with  gladness 

Keep  Christ's  birthday  feast  anew, 
Sing  His  praise  with  loving  voices. 
Who  was  born  a  Babe  for  you. 

6  Hail,  sweet  Baby,  Child  of  Mary, 

Hail,  King  David's  Royal  Son, 
Singing  carols  round  Thy  cradle. 
We  adore  Thee,  Holy  One.

Come,  ye  poor,  uo  pomp  of  station 

Robes  the  Child  your  hearts  adored  ; 
He,  the  Lord  of  all  salvation. 

Shares  your  want,  is  weak  and  poor  ; 
Oxen  round  about,  behold  them  ; 

Rafters  naked,  cold,  and  bare, 
See  the  shepherds,  God  has  told  them 

That  the  Prince  of  Life  lies  there. 

Come,  ye  children,  blithe  and  merry, 

This  one  Child  your  7uodel  make  ; 
Christmas  holly,  leaf  and  berry. 

All  be  prized  for  His  dear  sake  ; 
Come,  ye  gentle  hearts  and  tender, 

Come,  ye  spirits,  keen  and  bold, 
All  in  all  your  homage  render. 

Weak  and  mighty,  young  and  old. 


4  High  above  a  star  is  shining. 

And  the  Wise  Men  haste  from  far  ; 
Come,  '^lad  hearts,  and  spirits  pining. 

For  you  all  has  risen  a  star ; 
Let  us  bring  our  poor  oblations. 

Thanks  and  love,  and  faith  and  praise. 
Come,  ye  people,  come,  ye  nations, 

All  in  all  draw  nigh  to  gaze. 

5  Hark,  the  Heaven  of  heavens  is  ringing  ; 

Christ  the  Lord  to  man  is  born  ! 
Are  not  all  our  hearts,  too,  singing, 

Welcome,  welcome,  Christmas  morn  1 
Still  the  Child  all  power  possessing. 

Smiles  as  through  the  ages  past. 
And  the  song  of  Christmas  blessing 

Sweetly  sinks  to  rest  at  last.

O'er  Him  fondly  bendeth

That  flash  on  the  shining  eyes  below. 

And  the  strange  sweet  fruit  on  each  laden  bough 
Is  all  to  be  plucked  by  the  gatherers  now. 
Oh  this  wonderful  tree,  with  its  branches  wide, 
We  hail  it  with  joy  at  the  Christmas-tide. 


4  And  a  voice  is  telling,  its  boughs  among, 
Of  the  shepherds'  watch  and  angels'  song  ; 
Of  a  holy  Babe  in  a  manger  low, 

The  beautiful  story  of  long  ago. 

When  a  radiant  star  threw  its  beams  so  wide. 

To  herald  the  earliest  Christmas-tide. 

5  Then  spread  thy  branches,  wonderful  tree. 
And  bring  some  dainty  gift  to  me, 

And  fill  my  heart  with  a  burning  love 
To  Him  who  came  from  His  home  above  — ^ 
From  His  beautiful  home  with  the  glorified, 
To  give  us  the  joys  of  the  Christmas-tide.

The  sower  goes  forth  to  sow  ; 

The  weak  heart  of  man  is  the  narrovsr  span 
Where  all  holy  fruits  must  grow. 
There  watered  by  contrite  tears, 
And  warmed  by  love's  kindling  ray, 

The  seed  cometh  up,  and  the  fruitful  ears 
Grow  ripe  for  the  lasting  day.

Then  come,  let  our  praises  blend, 
Uplifted  to  God's  high  throne  ; 

Both  body  and  soul  He  alike  doth  tend. 
Then  both  should  His  glories  own. 
Upraise  we  then  heart  and  voice 
With  joy  to  our  heavenly  King, 

With  happy  refrain  ;  and  in  joyous  strain, 
Our  praises  of  rapture  sing.

Thine,  Lord,  were  the  dews  and  the  showers  of  heav'n, 
So  eagerly  longed  for,  so  lovingly  given; 
The  breath  of  the  morning,  the  simshine  of  noon. 
The  sweetness  of  May,  and  the  glory  of  Jime.

Thou  dwellest  in  beauty  no  tongue  can  express, 
The  beauty  and  glory  of  Holiness; 
But  the  flowers  are  glimpses  of  Thee  and  Thine, 
"Wherein  tender  gleams  of  Thy  goodness  shine. 


We  meet  in  Thy  temple  to  worship  and  pray; 
But  we  think  of  Thy  suffering  children  to-day: 
Grant,  Lord,  that  these  gifts  of  Thy  bounty  may  shed 
The  glow  of  Thy  smiles  on  their  weary  head. 

6 
We  offer  Thee,  Lord,  in  these  frtlits  and  flowers. 
No  fabric  of  man's,  no  fashion  of  ours; 
But  Thy  need  in  Thy  needy  ones  here  we  see 
And  now  of  Thme  own  have  we  given  Thee.

3  The  manger  of  Bethlehem  opens  once  more 
The  gates  of  that  Eden  where  man  dwelt  of  yore, 
And  He  who  is  lying,  a  Child,  in  the  Cave, 
Hath  conquered  the  foeman,  hath  ransomed  the  slave. 


5  On  the  hole  of  the  aspic  the  sucking  Child  plays, 
And  His  hand  on  the  den  of  the  cockatrice  lays. 
And  the  Dragon,  which  over  a  fallen  world  reigned, 
By  the  Seed  of  the  Woman  is  vanquished  and  chained. 


4  In  the  midst  of  the  Garden  the  Tree  of  Life  stands,       6  To  Him  who  hath  loved  us  and  sent  us  His  Son, 
And  offers  His  twelve  fruits  to  lips  and  to  hands.  To  Him  who  the  Victory  for  us  hath  won, 

For  the  Lord  of  Salvation,  the  Gentiles'  Desire,  To  Him  who  sheds  on  us  His  seven-fold  rays. 

Hath  ta'en  from  the  Cherubs  their  sword-blade  of  fire.      Be  honour  and  glory,  salvation  and  praise.

3  Every  earthly  battle 

Is  fought  with  armour's  rattle, 
And  with  war-steeds  prancing, 
And  with  helmets  glancing, 
And  with  pennons  in  the  breezes  dancing  : 
Another  foe,  another  fight, 
Was  fought  before  the  morning  light 
At  Easter. 


4  Single  warfare  waging. 
Embattled  hosts  engaging. 
He,  by  none  assisted. 
He,  by  all  resisted, 
Met  and  conquered'hell,  for  conflict  listed  : 
On  Friday  last  His  sword  He  drew ; 
The  vanquish'd  foe  He  overthrew 
At  Easter.

2  O'er  the  hill  and  o'er  the  vale,' 

Each  king  bears  a  present: 
Wise  men  go  a  Child  to  hail, 

Monarchs  seek  a  Peasant: 
And  a  star  in  front  proceeds, 
Over  rocks  and  rivers  leads, 

Shines  with  beams  incessant: 
Therefore  onward,  onward  still! 
Ford  the  stream  and  climb  the  hill: 

Love  makes  all  things  pleasant. 


3  He  is  God  ye  go  to  meet: 

Therefore  incense  profffer: 
He  is  King  ye  go  to  greet; 

Grold  is  in  your  coffer: 
Also  Man,  He  comes  to  share 
Ev'ry  woe  that  man  can  bear — 

Tempter,  Railer,  Scoffer: 
Therefore  now,  against  the  day, 
In  the  grave  when  Him  they  lay, 

Myrrh  ye  also  offer.

Then  down  upon  tlie  knee  they  fall. 
And  offer  Him,  in  order  meet, 
Gold,  myrrh,  and  incense  passing  sweet.

Heart,  soul,  life,  limb,  name,  substance — all.

From  heresy  and  schism  freed.

She  learnt  how  the  Lord  doth  scan, 
And  claim  each  floweret  and  blossom  green 

Which  blooms  in  the  heart  of  man. 
Fair  buds  of  hope,  and  of  longings  high, 
With  purity's  flower  of  snow,

And  charity's  purple  glow.     Chorus.

That  brought  into  this  world  our  God  made  Man. 

3  She  laid  Him  in  a  stall,  at  Bethlehem, 

The  ass  and  oxen  shared  the  roof  with  them. 

4  Saint  Joseph,  too,  was  by  to  tend  the  Child, 
So  guard  Him,  and  protect  His  mother  mild.

For  He  whom  Mary  bore  was  God  the  Son.

6  The  King  of  all  kings  to  this  -world  being  brought, 
Small  store  of  fine  linen  to  wrap  Him  was  sought ; 
But  when  she  had  swaddled  her  young  Son  so  sweet, 
Within  an  ox  manger  she  laid  Him  to  sleep. 

6  Then  God  sent  an  angel  from  heaven  so  high, 

To  certain  poor  shepherds  in  fields  where  they  lie, 
And  bade  them  no  longer  in  sorrow  to  stay, 
Because  that  our  Saviour  was  born  on  this  day. 

7  Then  presently  after  the  shepherds  did  spy 
Vast  numbers  of  angels  to  stand  in  the  sky ; 
They  joyfully  talked,  and  sweetly  did  sing, 

«  To  God  be  all  glory,  our  heavenly  King." 

8  To  teach  us  humility  all  this  was  done. 

And  learn  we  from  thence  haughty  pride  for  to  shun ; 
A  manger  His  cradle  Who  came  from  above, 
The  great  God  of  mercy,  of  peace,  and  of  love.

He  Himself,  from  sleep  awaking, 
Who  spontaneous  bore  the  gloom. 
Through  the  seals,  and  without  breaking. 
Hath  come  forth  and  left  the  tomb ; 

Death  could  not  hold 
Him  born  of  a  Virgin's  womb.

4  Lord,  with  Thee  in  daily  dying 
May  we  die,  and  with  Thee  rise; 
And  on  earth,  ourselves  denying. 
Lift  our  hearts  unto  the  skies. 

To  sing  our  Grod, 
Three  iu  One,  sole  Good  and  Wise.

5  All  night  their  efforts  doubled : 

On  they  came  with  scoff  and  boast : 
Till  God  look'd  forth,  and  troubled 

All  the  bravest  of  their  host. 
Then  the  strong  met  the  Stronger ; 
Vengeance  then  slept  no  longer ; 
Then  the  Wrong'd  triumph'd  o'er  the  wronger.

Command  to  guide  us  on  our  way, 
And  bid  them  every  evening  keep 
Their  watch  around  us  while  we  sleep.

Dear  Saviour,  make  us  fruitful. 

And  by  Thy  power  divine, 
Help  us  in  youth  and  manhood 

By  holy  deeds  to  shine. 
Let  all  around  take  knowledge 

That  we  have  heen  with  Thee, 
And  by  Thy  grace  are  growing 

In  love  and  purity. 


Then  when  the  angel-reapers 

Shall  come  to  gather  in 
The  great  and  glorious  Harvest 

Of  souls  redeemed  from  sin. 
Within  the  heavenly  garner 

Safe  gathered  we  shall  be. 
With  Father,  Son,  and  Spirit, 

To  reign  eternally.

St.  Winnow  and  Boconnoe  and  Lansallos  and  Duloe,

As  Talland  calls  to  Lanreath  and  Lanteglos  answers  Fowey.

To  lioming  boats,  on  Christmas  eve,  by  lights  of  Lizard  Head, 
And  fisher  lads,  safe  home  at  last  from  perils  of  the  sea, 
Give  incense  of  brave  hearts  to  greet  their  Lord's  epiphany.

And  Buryan  bells,  o'er  land  and  -sea,  their  Christmas  message  bear, 
To  where  the  dreaming  Scillies  sleep  in  moon-enchanted  air.

gel       clad      in     white  they  see,    Who  sat  and    spake    im  -  to  the  three 


O'er     death  to  -  day   rose   tri-umph  -ing  I  ^ 
To     seek   the  tomb  where  Je  -  sus    lay.   >    Al  -  le  -  In  -  ia  1     Al  -  le  -  lu  -  ia  I 
"Your    Lord  doth  go       to     Ga  -  li  -  lee") 


4  That  night  the  Apostles  met  in  fear ; 
Amidst  them  came  the  Lord  most  dear, 
And  said,  "  My  peace  be  on  all  here !  " 
Alleluia  I 
6  When  Didymus  the  tidings  heard, 
He  doubted  if  it  were  the  Lord, 
Until  He  came  and  spake  this  word: 

Alleluia  I 
6  "  My  pierced  Side,  0  Thomas,  see ; 
My  hands.  My  feet,  I  show  to  thee ; 
Not  faithless,  but  believing  be." 

Alleluia! 


No  longer  Thomas  then  denied ; 

He  saw  the  Feet,  the  Hands,  the  Side ; 

"Thou  art  my  Lord  and  God,"  he  cried. 

Alleluia  I 
1  How  blest  are  they  who  have  not  seen. 
And  yet  whose  faith  hath  constant  been ; 
For  they  eternal  life  shall  win. 

Alleluia ! 
I  On  this  most  holy  day  of  days. 
To  God  your  hearts  and  voices  raise 
In  laud,  and  jubilee,  and  praise. 

Alleluia !

"I  bring  you,"  said  he, 
"From  the  glorious  Three, 

Good  tidings  to  gladden  mankind ; 
The  Saviour  is  born, 
But  He  lies  all  forlorn 

In  a  manger,  as  soon  you  will  find." 

At  mention  of  this, 

(The  source  of  all  bliss,) 
The  angels  sang  loudly  and  long ; 

They  soared  to  the  sky. 

Beyond  mortal  eye, 
But  left  us  the  words  of  their  song  : 


"All  Glory  to  God," 

Who  laid  by  His  rod, 
To  smile  on  the  world  through  His  Son 

"And  peace  be  on  earth," 

For  this  wonderful  birth 
;Most  wonderful  conquests  has  won ; 

"And  good-will  to  man," 

Though  his  life's  but  a  span. 
And  his  thoughts  so  evil  and  wrong  ; 

Then  pray.  Christians,  pray  ; 

But  let  Christmas-Day 
Have  your  sweetest  and  holiest  song.

Bowed  down  to  her  knee : 
"  Thus  you  may  see,  Joseph, 
These  cherries  are  for  me."

He  heard  Angels  sing, 
"  This  night  there  shall  be  born 
Our  heavenly  King.

9  "  He  neither  shall  be  born 
In  house  nor  in  hall. 
Nor  in  the  place  of  Paradise, 
But  in  an  ox-stall. 

10  "He  shall  not  be  clothed 
In  purple  nor  pall ; 
But  all  in  fair  linen. 
As  wear  babies  all. 


11  "  He  shall  not  be  rocked. 

In  silver  nor  gold, 
But  in  a  wooden  cradle 
That  rocks  on  the  mould. 

12  "  He  neither  shall  be  christened 

In  milk  nor  in  wine, 
But  in  pure  spring-well  water 
Fresh  sprung  from  Bethine." 


13  Mary  took  her  Baby, 

She  dressed  Him  so  sweet. 
She  laid  Him  in  a  manger 
All  there  for  to  sleep. 

14  As  she  stood  over  Him 

She  heard  Angels  sing ; 
"Oh!  bless  our  dear  Saviour, 
Our  heavenly  King."

The  shepherds  heard  an  Angel  cry, 

O  merry  song  that  night  sang  he, 
Why  are  ye  all  so  sore  aghast, 

Jam  lucis  orto  sidere  ? 


The  Angel  came  down  with  a  cry, 
A  fair  and  joyful  song  sang  he, 

And  in  the  worship  of  that  Child, 
Gloria  Tibi  Domine.

"  Unto  you  in  David's  city, 

As  was  told  by  Prophet's  word, 
Christ  is  born,  your  God  and  Saviour, 

Christ  is  born,  your  King  and  Lord." 
Suddenly  a  host  of  angels 

Raised  their  voices  high  and  sang, 
Till  the  vaulted  arch  of  Heaven 

With  the  echoing  chorus  rang.

"  Glory,  glory,  in  the  Highest, 

Unto  God,  and  peace  on  earth ; 
To  all  nations  joyful  bring  we 

Tidings  glad  of  Jesus'  Birth." 
Lift  we  now  our  hearts  and  voices, 

Join  we  all  the  cheerful  cry. 
Learned  by  shepherds  from  the  Angels ; 

"  Glory  be  to  God  on  high."

And  ere  the  morn  is  breaking  across  the  wold. 
The  shepherds,  flocks  forsaking,  with  wonder  bold 
Draw  near  in  adoration  their  praise  to  pour ; 
To  offer  an  oblation  that  Babe  before. 

4  So  runs  the  Gospel  story  of  that  sweet  morn. 
Ere  round  the  Rose's  Glory  had  tarried  the  thorn ; 
And  now  to  Heaven  transplanted  its  bliss  to  share; 
Our  God,  to  us  hath  granted,  hereafter  there.

In  the  spring  the  smiling  meadows 

Donned  their  robes  of  living  green, 
As  the  sunshine  chased  the  shadows 

Swiftly  o'er  the  changing  sceae. 
In  the  summer-time  the  story 

Of  a  riper  hope  was  told  ; 
Then  the  rich  autumnal  glory 

Decked  the  fields  in  cloth  of  gold. 
Ref.     To  the  Lord,  etc.

Shall  not  we,  whose  hearts  are  swelling 

With  the  thought  of  former  days, 
Sing  a  joyous  song  foretelling 

Future  gladness,  fuller  praise  ? 
For  the  cloud  the  bow  retaineth 

With  its  covenant  of  peace. 
That  as  long  as  earth  remaineth 

Harvest-time  shall  never  cease.

O  catch  the  anthem  that  from  heaven 

O'er  Judah's  mountains  rolled.

The  high  and  solenm  lay,

Three  kings  once  lived  in  East-em  land,Full  wise  were  they,  as  wise  could  be.  And 


'neath  the  midnight  slsy  would  stand, To  read  the  stars  most  pa-tient-ly  .Then  one    un-  to    the  o-  thers  said :   A 


star  unknownhathcomeinsight.lt    go  -  eth  East  from  o  -  ver-head,Andshin-eth  like  a    me- teor  bright.

Christ  is  risen!  all  the  sorrow 

That  last  evening  round  Him  lay, 
Now  hath  found  a  glorious  morrow 

In  the  rising  of  to-day: 
And  the  grave  its  first-fruits  giveth, 

Springing  up  from  holy  ground. 
He  was  dead,  but  now  He  liveth. 

He  was  lost,  but  He  is  found: 
Cho.     Christ  is  risen !  etc. 
Parish  Choir,  No.  18S8-4. 


Christ  is  risen!  henceforth  never 

Death  or  hell  shall  us  enthral, 
Be  we  Christ's,  in  Him  for  ever 

We  have  triumphed  over  all; 
All  the  doubting  and  dejection 

Of  our  trembling  hearts  have  ceased, 
'Tis  His  day  of  Resurrection! 

Let  us  rise  and  keep  the  Feast:

3  Now  the  Queen  of  Seasons,  bright 

With  the  day  of  splendour, 

With  the  royal  Feast  of  feasts. 

Comes  its  joy  to  render ; 
Comes  to  glad  Jerusalem, 
Who  with  true  affection. 
Welcomes  in  unwearied  strains 
Jesus'  Kesurrection.

4  Alleluia  now  we  cry 

To  our  King  Immortal, 
Who  triumphant  burst  the  bars 

Of  the  tomb's  dark  portal ; 
Alleluia,  with  the  Son 

God  the  Father  praising ; 
Alleluia  yet  again 

To  the  Spirit  raising.

As  Joseph  was  a  walking,  thus  did  the  angel  sing ; 
That  night  the  Mother  maiden  gave  birth  to  Christ  our  King. 
And  marshalled  on  the  mountain,  the  angels  raise  their  song; 
And  shepherds  hear  the  story  in  anthems  clear  and  strong.

Come  the  Kings  with  oflerings  rare.

From  His  house  above  the  sky. 

Come  to  bring  salvation, 
That  man  no  more  may  die.

4  Now  let  us  all  with  gladsome  cheer 
follow  the  shepherds,  and  draw  near 
To  see  this  wondrous  gift  of  God, 
Who  hath  His  only  Son  bestow'd. 

5  Welcome  to  earth.  Thou  noble  guest.

6  Ah,  dearest  Jesus,  Holy  Child, 
Make  Thee  a  bed,  soft,  undefiled, 
Within  my  heart,  that  it  may  be 
A  quiet  chamber  kept  for  Thee. 

7  My  heart  for  very  joy  doth  leap, 
My  life  no  more  can  "silence  keep ; 

I  too  must  sing,  with  joyful  tongue 
That  sweetest  ancient  cradle-song  :- 


8  Glory  to  God  in  highest  heaven. 
Who  unto  man  His  Son  hath  given  I 
While  angels  sing,  with  pious  mirth, 
A  glad  New  Year  to  all  the  earth.

Then  the  kings  with  solemn  gaze 

Looked  on  high  beholding ; 
For  the  marvel  yet  to  come, 

Heav'n  their  spirits  moulding. 

When  behold,  with  silent  awe. 

Suddenly  the  clouds  they  saw 

Like  a  darkened  veil  withdraw. 

Wonders  more  unfolding. 


Then  one  cried,  "Behold  the  star 
Of  which  seers  have  spoken. 

Beaming  on  the  laud  afar, 
And  of  life  the  token ! 

Haste  we,  brothers  I  let  us  speed ; 

See,  it  moves  I  It  comes  to  lead 

To  the  Christ,  of  Judah's  seed 
Born  of  line  unbroken  I" 


In  a  trice  a  star  shone  forth, 

0 1  so  brightly  shining  I— 
Nearer,  nearer  yet  it  came. 

Still  towards  earth  inclining  I 
And  'twas  shaped— 0  wondrous  sight ! 
Like  a  child  enthroned  in  light, 
Crown'd,  though  yet,  with  sceptre  bright 

Victor— cross  combining!* 


Up  they  rise,  and  bend  their  way. 

Toil  nor  labour  sparing. 
Over  mountain,  hill  and  plain. 

Costly  treasures  bearing. — 

So  do  ye  your  off'rings  make. 

Fear  no  pain  for  Jesu's  sake. 

Ever  strive  heaven's  road  to  take. 

For  your  Lord  preparing ! 


•An  allusion  to  a  legend,  preserved  in  an  ancient  Commentary  on  St.  Matthew,  that  the  star,  on  its  first  appearance  to  the 
Magi,  had  the  form  of  a  radiant  child,  bearing  a  sceptre  or  cross.

We,  too,  this  welcome  news  did  hear 

From  angels  in  the  air. 
They  bade  us  cast  away  all  fear. 

And  to  the  town  repair. 
We  hastened  to  the  humble  stall, 

The  Holy  Child  we  sought ; 
On  bended  knee  each  one  did  fall, 

And  humble  offerings  brought. 


Cho.    Then  know,  all  friends,  who  wish  to  see 

Your  sweet  Redeemer's  face, 
Though  long,  the  way  full  short  will  be. 

If  ye  but  ask  His  gi-ace. 
No  thorns  your  faithful  steps  shall  stay 

And  light  will  shine  around  ; 
All  doubts  and  fears  will  pass  away 

When  Jesus  Christ  is  found.

They  brought  with  them  most  costly  things, 
For  that  sweet  Babe  the  King  of  Kings, 
'Twas  Frankincense,  with  Gold  and  Myrrh, 
For  Priest  and  King  and  Sad  Martyr. 

Oh,  may  we  bring  such  offerings  meet, 
And  lay  them  down  at  Jesu's  feet ! 


Oh,  sing  we  then  with  voices  clear, 
Sweet  carols  to  this  Babe  so  dear, 
And  sing  we  too,  these  monarchs  three, 
Who  journeyed  far  this  Babe  to  see. 

Oh,  may  our  hearts  most  faithful  be, 
At  this  our  glad  Epiphany  !

4  Till  they  came  to  that  blissful  place, 
Where  Jesus  with  His  Mother  was, 
They  worship'd  there  with  great  solace, 

Tu  fere-a ; 
And  when  they  had  their  offering  made. 
According  as  the  Lord  them  bade, 
Of  all  the  treasures  that  they  had. 
Gold,  Frankincense  and  ]Myrrh-a, 

Frankincense  and  Myrrh. 

6  Anon,  as  on  their  way  they  went, 
God  the  Lord  an  angel  sent 
To  those  three  Kings  that  made  present, 

To  say-a ; 
The  Lord  doth  warn  you  ev'ry  one 
To  go  not  by  King  Herod  home. 
For  if  ye  do  ye  are  undone. 
And  woe  will  come  full  soon-a, 

Woe  will  come  full  soon. 

Parish  Choir,  No.  1900  —  4.  £ 


So  forth  they  went  another  way 
Through  the  might  of  God  that  day 
As  did  the  angel  to  them  say, 

Full  right-a; 
When  they  were  come  to  their  countree, 
So  glad  and  merry  were  all  three 
To  tell  the  sight  that  they  did  see 
By  that  star's  shining  light-a, 

That  star's  shining  light. 

Now  let  us  kneel  all  here  adown, 
To  that  Lord  of  great  renown. 
Who  worthy  is  to  wear  the  crown, 

Full  right-a ; 
Now  is  the  time  of  Christmas  come. 
The  Father,  who,  now  with  the  Son, 
And  with  the  Holy  Ghost,  is  One, 
Send  us  a  good  new  yeai'-a. 

Send  us  a  good  new  year.

No  more  grieving  !  no  more  sighing  I 
No  more  weeping !  no  more  dying ! 

Christ  is  King  this  day  !"

On  this  Easter  Day 

Let  the  banners  float  before  us,

For  the  angels'  song  at  the  Birth  of  Christ 

With  tidings  of  joy  began ; 
And  it  rang  with  a  Glory  to  God  in  the  Highest, 

And  a  brotherhood  true  to  man ; 
Yet  'twas  winter  time  for  the  rich  and  poor. 

When  the  shepherds  came  to  Saint  Mary's  door. 
Cho  :  Yet  'twas  winter,  etc. 


True  Sages  were  they  who  to  Bethlehem  led. 
Brought  frankincense,  myrrh,  and  gold,— 

Which  they  offered  to  Christ  on  his  manger-bed. 
With  a  reverent  love  untold; 

But  'twas  winter  time  for  the  rich  and  poor, 
As  the  Wise  Men  knelt  at  Saint  Mary^s  door.

When  His  poor  all  around  we  see: 
Inasmuch  as  to  them  we  have  done  the  deed, 

He  will  say,  "  Ye  have  done  it  to  Me:" 
'Tis  a  wintry  time  for  the  rich  and  poor. 
Say  who  shall  be  driven  from  a  Christian's  door?

Carol    667.  CHRISTMAS. 

Words  tr.  fr.  P.  GerhardK 


J.  Kruger. 


3  Now  from  out  His  manger  lowly, 
Hark  His  call  greets  us  all 

With  sweet  accents  holy : 

"  Mothers,  come  I  I  will  restore  you ; 
Cease  your  tears,  griefs,  and  fears, 

1  bring  comfort  for  you." 


4  To  His  voice  0  let  us  listen. 
High  and  low  let  us  now 

To  this  Saviour  hasten : 

Loving  Him  whose  love  invites  us, 
Let  us  gaze  on  the  rays 

Of  the  Star  that  lights  ua.

3  Sleep,  Holy  Babe! 

Wnile  I  with  Mary  gaze 
In  joy  upon  that  Face  awhile. 
Upon  the  loving  Infant  smile. 

Which  there  Divinely  plays. 

4  Sleep,  Holy  Babel 

Ah,  take  Tliy  brief  repose; 
Too  quickly  will  Thy  slumbers  break. 
And  Thou  to  lengthen'd  pains  awake. 

That  death  alone  shall  close.

5  Then  must  that  Brow 

Its  thorny  Crown  receive; 
That  Cheek,  more  lovely  than  the  rose, 
Be  drench'd  with  Blood,  and  marr'd  with  blows. 

That  I  thereby  may  live. 

6  0  Father  Blest! 

Almighty,  hear  my  cry! 
Forgive  the  wrong  that  I  have  done 
To  Thee,  in  causing  Thy  dear  Son 

Upon  the  Cross  to  die.

Of  the  angels'  song ; 
Grand  old  chant,  and  joyous  carol, 

Ring  the  aisles  along.

Yielding  Christmas  odors  sweeter

So  our  hearts  shall  homage  pay 

To  the  Saviour,  bom  to-day.

Breathes  its  welcome : —  "  Christ  is  come !'

Many  a  heart  and  home  ; 
But  the  "  Gift  all  gifts  excelling,"

In  your  hearts  make  speedy  room, 
For  the  Christ,  the  Lord  is  come !

But  when  from  the  city  they  hastened  in  fear, 
Now  rock,  etc. 

The  Star  went  before,  shining  brightly  and  clear, 
Right  glad,  etc. 


6  "Go,  Magi,  once  more  from  the  town  to  the  wild,"  7  They  came  to  the  stable  at  Bethlehem  town, 

Now  rock,  etc.  Now  rock,  etc.  [down, 

"For  Herod  is  seeking  the  life  of  the  Child,"  They  pour'd  out  their  treasures,  and  lowly  kneel'd 

How  sad,  then,  etc.  Right  glad,  etc. 

8  For  there  in  the  stable,  enthroned  on  the  knee, 
Now  rock,  etc. 
Of  Mary  the  Virgin,  Messiah  they  see. 

Right  glad,  etc.

1.  So     hap-pyall    the  day.    Had    I   been  with -out    play,  And  such  good  thoughts  had  come  o'er  my  mmd, 

2.  And    the  birds,all  day  long.  Had  left  trill -ing  their  song;  And     the   sun    had  gone  down,  oh,  so   redl 

3.  The      stars  were  all  drest     In  their  brightest   and    best;And    themoonshow'da  streak"^  of    her  gold- 


That  I  wonder'd  what  it  meant.  Or  for  why  it  was  sent.  As  I  ne'er  had  felt  aught  of  the  kind. 
We  had  fold -ed  the  sheep.  And  were  talk  -  ing  of  sleep.  But  some  -  how  we  cared  not  for  bed. 
'Twas    a     glo  -  ri  -  ous  night ; And  we  thought  of    the  sight    Of  which  Da  -  vid  our    fa  -  ther  had    told. 


m 


4  A  sound  struck  our  ear, 

Sweet,  joyous,  and  clear. 
It  seemed  like  a  musical  breeze : 

But,  ere  we  could  gaze, 

We  were  all  in  a  blaze. 
And  found  ourselves  down  on  our  knees. 

6  A  bright  one  then  said, 

('Twas  like  life  from  the  dead,) 

"Good  tidings,  good  tidings  I  bring ! 
Messiah's  come  down ; 
In  your  own  little  town 

You  will  find  Him  a  Babe  and  a  King !" 

6  And  then  the  whole  choir. 
Rising  higher  and  higher. 

Sang  of  "glory,  sweet  peace  and  good-will"; 
The  sheep  seemed  to  dance. 
And  the  mountains  to  prance. 

And  the  stars  could  no  longer  stand  still. 


7  Then  onward  we  sped, 
To  find  out  the  bed, 

Where  the  Saviour  in  lowliness  lay ; 

Near  Bethlehem's  inn, 

(Oh  shame  on  their  sin  !) 
We  found  Him  midst  cattle  and  hay. 

8  But  we  saw  the  blest  sight ; 
'Twas  our  Judah's  delight ; 

And  Mary  and  Joseph  were  there : 
And  soon  we  made  known 
To  all  in  the  town 

What  we  heard  the  good  angel  declare. 

9  And  now  every  day, 
I  sing  and  I  pray 

To  the  Babe  who  is  Saviour  and  all : 
May  His  wonderful  birth 
Be  known  through  the  earth. 

And  cheer  both  the  great  and  the  small !

mf  3  He  spake ;  and  straightway  the  celestial  choir 
cr  In  hymns  of  joy,  unknown  before,  conspire : 

The  praises  of  redeeming  love  they  sang, 
/  And  heaven's  whole  arch  with  alleluias  rang : 
God's  highest  glory  was  their  anthem  still, 
(Ji  n  Peace  upon  earth,  and  unto  men  good-will. 

mfi  To  Bethlehem  straight  the  happy  shepherds  ran, 
dim    To  see  the  wonder  God  had  wrought  for  man : 
And  found,  with  Joseph  and  the  blessed  maid, 
Her  Son,  the  Saviour,  in  a  manger  laid; 
cr  Amazed  the  wondrous  story  they  proclaim. 
The  earliest  heralds  of  the  Saviour's  name. 


mf  5  Let  us,  like  these  good  shepherds,  then  employ 
Our  grateful  voices  to  proclaim  the  joy ; 
Trace  we  the  Babe,  Who  hath  retrieved  our  loss, 
From  His  poor  manger  to  His  bitter  Cross ; 
Treading  His  steps,  assisted  by  His  grace. 
Till  man's  first  heavenly  state  again  takes  place. 

cr  6  Then  may  we  hope,  the  angelic  thrones  among, 
/  To  sing,  redeemed,  a  glad  triumphal  song ; 
He,  that  was  born  upon  this  joyful  day. 
Around  us  all  His  glory  shall  display ; 
Saved  by  His  love,  incessant  we  shall  sing 
Of  angels  and  of  angel-men  the  King.

Veiled  beneath  the  Bread  and  Wine,

To  hearts  that  are  true  :

In  mercy  condescended 

To  be  of  humble  birth.

Long  looked  the  simple  shepherds, 

With  holy  wonder  stirred. 
Then  praised  God  for  all  the  things 

Which  they  had  seen  and  heard. 
And  homeward  went  rejoicing, 

Upon  that  Christmas  morn, 
Declaring  unto  every  one 

That  Jesus  Christ  was  born.

♦"When  sung  as  a  Tenor  Solo,  small  notes  may  be  sung. 

3  (Solo) 

"  Speak,  gentle  Lord;"  she  cried  with  reverent  love 
"Tell  me,  I  pray,  what  griefs  around  Thee  press, 

Though  I  of  earth,  and  Thou  from  Heaven  above, 
I  am  Thy  Mother;  what  doth  Thee  distress?" 

4  {Cho.) 

pp  Sweet  was  her  face  as  o'er  His  head  she  bent; 
Longing  to  melt  His  look  of  saddest  grief. 
With  lifted  eyes  His  ear  to  her  He  lent; 
Her  kindly  solace  brought  His  soul  relief. 
5 
f  Then  did  He  smile,  a  smile  of  love  so  deep. 
Winter  himself  grew  warm  beneath  its  glow. 
From  drooping  branches  scented  blossoms  peep. 
Up  springs  the  grass,  the  sealCd  fountains  flow. 


Summer  and  spring  did  each  with  other  vie. 
Offering  to  Him  the  fragrance  of  their  store; 

Chanting  sweet  notes  the  birds  around  Him  fly, 
AVondering  why  earth  had  chequered  so  her  floor. 

7  (Solo.) 

pp  Then  round  his  Mother  lilies  white  entwined, 

Fresh  as  her  love,  and  chaste  as  she  was  pure; 
About  His  head  the  Passion-flowers  did  bind. 
Type  of  the  sufierings  He  must  soon  endure. 

8  (Cho.) 

Hid  in  the  wreath  was  many  a  cruel  thorn ; 
Yet  on  His  brow  He  placed  it,  full  of  joy: 
Full  well  He  knew  why  He  on  earth  was  born, 
How  by  His  Blood  He  should  our  woes  destroy. 


Parish  Cliolr,  No.  1995  —  4, 


/  Know  then,  dear  brother,  in  these  Christmas  hours, 
Sorrow,  like  snow,  will  melt  if  lie  but  smile; 
And  if  He  clothe  thy  wintry  patli  witii  flowers. 
Amidst  thy  mirth,  think  on  His  thorns  awhile.

Men.    3  And  what  said  he,  0  Mary, 
This  angel  when  he  spake. 
When  he  foretold  that  Jesus 
On  earth  our  form  should  take  ? 
Women.    He  said,  "  The  Lord  be  with  thee. 
For  full  of  grace  thou  art, 
And  thou  art  highly  favoured. 
Thou  meek  and  pure  of  heart." 

Men.    4  Now  tell  us,  blessed  Mary, 
Say  where  didst  thou  abide 
When  Gabriel  did  promise 
This  first  great  Cnistmas-tide. 
Women.    In  Galilee  I  rested. 

In  holy  love  and  fear. 
And  in  my  meditation 
The  Angel  did  appear. 


Men.    5  Did  shepherds  from  the  mountains 
In  humble  garb  and  meek. 
With  joyous  exultation 
The  Holy  Infant  seek? 
Women.    They  sought  the  Immble  manger. 
And  soon  as  they  did  see 
The  new-born  I'rince  of  Glory, 
They  sank  on  bended  knee. 

Chobus.  6  We  humbly  trust,  0  Mary, 

That  God  will  give  us  grace 
To  love  this  Holy  Infant 

And  ever  seek  His  face; 
So  at  the  last  great  Advent, 

When  He  as  .Judge  shall  stand. 
We  may  amongst  the  blessed. 

Be  placed  on  His  right  hand. 


Note.— The  Prologue  ( first  four  lines  )  should  be  sung  by  a  single  bas.s  or  tenor  voice  (  unaccompanied  )  to  the  first  four 
of  the  melody.  Then  all  commence  verse  1,  in  chorus  and  in  harmony.  The  men,  when  singing  alone  should  of  course

"Fear  not,"  then  said  the  Angel, 

"  Let  nothing  you  affright. 
This  day  is  born  a  Saviour 

Of  virtue,  power,  and  might ;

From  Satan's  power  and  might:" 
O  tidings,  etc.

The  shepherds  at  those  tidings 

Rejoiced  much  in  mind, 
And  left  their  flocks  a-feeding. 

In  tempest,  storm,  and  wind: 
And  went  to  Bethlehem  straightway. 

The  Blessed  Babe  to  find: 

0  tidings,  etc. 


But  when  to  Bethlehem  they  came. 

Where  this  dear  Infant  lay, 
They  found  Him  in  a  manger. 

Where  oxen  feed  on  hay ; 
His  Mother  Mary  kneeling  down, 

Unto  the  Lord  did  pray : 

0  tidings,  etc. 
7 
Now  to  the  Lord  sing  praises. 

All  you  within  this  place, 
And  with  true  love  and  brotherhood 

Each  other  now  embrace ; 
This  holy  tide  of  Christmas 

All  others  doth  deface : 

0  tidings,  etc.

4  The  men  of  St.  Germain, 

When  they  the  news  did  hear, 
That  Christ  had  come  to  reign, 

Unto  the  town  drew  near ; 
Loud  Noels  fill  the  air. 

Away  with  tears  and  sighing  ! 
For  all  things  old  have  passed  away, 
Now  breaks  the  long-expected  day, 

And  death  itself  is  dying. 

6  The  good  men  all  of  Boissy 

Did  from  their  dreams  aw^ake, 
And  sailors  frona  Bretigny 

Their  presents  too  did  take ; 
Best  offerings  from  the  sea. 

As  fishermen  they  bring  Him, 
They  see  the  tender,  holy  Child, 
And  Joseph  and  the  Mother  mild, 

On  bended  knees  beside  Him. 
Parish  Cbolr,  No.  1774  —  4. 


The  rev'rend  Vicar  Guyot 

Of  wine  the  best  doth  bring. 
While  all  his  youthful  scholars 

Their  simplest  notes  do  sing ; 
A  song,  though  weak  and  poor. 

Will  open  wide  heaven's  portals ; 
"Ut,  re,  mi,  fa,  sol,  la,  la,  la, 
Ut,  re,  mi,  fa,  sol,  la,  la,  la," 

Will  blessings  bring  on  mortals. 

Now  joy  to  Holy  Marj-, 

And  God's  all-blessed  Son 
Who  left  the  realms  of  heaven 

Our  earthly  course  to  run  ; 
It  never  can  grow  old, 

This  faithful  shepherds'  story ; 
Then  sing  we  all  with  hearts  of  joy 
The  Noel  which  can  never  cloy, 

"0  Christ,  to  Thee  be  glory."

CHUISTMAJ 


The  original  melody  of  "  In  dulci  jubilo  "  can  be  traced  buck  to  the  year  1570.  It  was  then  called  "  A  very  ancient  song 
for  Christmas  eve."  It  was  very  popular  in  Germany  alike  among  Protestants  and  Komanists,  and  Is  .still  In  use  in  those  parts 
of  the  country  where  people  retain  old  customs,  and  it  always  lias  a  place  in  the  anthem  form  liere  presented,  in  tlie  Christmas 
music  of  Westminster  Abbey.  The  original  words  were  written  half  in  Latin  and  half  in  German :  the  latter  being  here  trans- 
lated into  English.
